Collaboration from afar

This drawing was sent to me by Sara Swoboda for her art project, she's been sending a current drawing to a different person everyday since March 20, 2011 and will continue to do so until March 18, 2012. I will post up information about the installation once I know.

Sarah asked for a response to the drawing in her letter to me about the project, here is mine:

Dance of the Elephant

A figure stands in the window

Day 166
An elephant on the mind
a figure, female, locked in a dance pose
her hand:
robotic
simple
mechanical
lines converge in her blank face
small tears in her leggings

while she poses
an elephant's legs grow to the size
of a giraffe, and an aura of sketch
emanates from ink flesh
