Any rsightings of an elephant on the loose today (Wed) between Derry and Donegal should be taken with a pinch of salt.
There will be a life-sized Jumbo on the road but fear not, it hasn’t escaped from nearby Wild Ireland!
The full-size African elephant is a sculpture made by Derry artist Kevin Harkin and it will be traveling to Inishowen as part of an exhibition.
Made out of a steel frame and chicken wire, the 10ft piece took more than a year to complete.
Sculptor Kevin admits it will surely turn a few heads on the roads.
The huge installation will be travelling on the back of a trailer to the free art event at Fort Dunree.
The colossal sculpture will soon be housed at the Artlink Members Show 2023 after its 25-mile journey.
