Tembo

A large bronze elephant striding forward

Location: Commerce Court courtyard
Date photo taken: 30 December 2016

This is Tembo, Mother of Elephants. She is striding purposefully to water, in this case a fountain, leading her two small charges, unseen in this photo. This life sized bronze began as a 20 cm tall model created by Toronto artist Derrick Stephan Hudson which was then 3D scanned and scaled up to create this imposing creature. It is the second cast, with the original residing in the Windsor Sculpture Park where in 2014 it was voted the most popular piece in the park by Windsor Star readers.
