10 concepts/words –understand, imagine, create, “elephant in the room”, sustainability, conservation, migration, ecology, commitment, alignment
I am working on taking on tour a life size elephant made of strips of recycled truck tires woven together. Would love to create a one page visual template for children and adults to use to reflect about issues of conservation, environment and sustainability when they look at her. Since she will be traveling in Mexico, North America and Africa, a visual language is preferable to a written one. I will send you the adult brochure. Would LOVE your thoughts! Bliss
p.s. this blog is a way cool idea. Yeah!
