This book takes a deep dive into his process and influences in the creation of a monumental elephant sculpture made out of couches--the first-ever public art commission at the Art Gallery of Ontario.\u003cbr\u003eGenerously illustrated, the book offers a significant visual record from early sketches and ideas through to production, transportation and installation.
