The Elephant Club






The Elephant Club is a small room lined with teabags, each tag is covered with red and white stripes or white stars on dark blue. The floor is vintage wallpaper, the elephant is an antique porcelain fellow who has lived a long hard life. The flickering strobe of the club is a bicycle light, and on the inside of the Club Door, the Anthem button plays "Jesus Loves Me" in tinny harmony, just below the Thomas Nast cartoon of the original image of the GOP as an elephant. Come on in...it's open 24/7.

A simulated cubic foot of old growth forest reminds us how they are disappearing around the world, and of the creatures who rely on that environment to thrive. We are so lucky to be able to dwell in nature, to pause in the cool, hushed heart of the forest. But we cannot forget the future generations who may not have our luxury of lingering.

We're Not Anxious


Caption: No, if we look anxious it is because, at any moment, the door might open and we will rush into the sun...
