The
Elephant sculptures, designed by Wyn Griffiths, were prefabricated at our base in Neath. The
sculptures stood on a base made from palettes. Carpet tubes were
used for the legs. The lower and upper halves of the elephant's
torso were made separately and sandwiched together when the sculpture
was assembled. The body shape was created by using chicken wire
wrapped around wood and cardboard formers attached to a chipboard
base. The skin was made from sheets, waste material from a tea bag
factory and plaster (mixed with vermiculite to create a realistic
texture). At the end of the event the sculptures were disassembled
and moved to storage - you never know when you might need an
elephant! |
