This whimsical bronze sculpture is one of the first 3D artworks created by Tanja McMillan.  Commissioned by the Auckland City Council in 2015, this peice was made in collaboration with acclaimed model maker John Oz. It sits outside St Kevin’s Arcade on Karangahape Road in Central Auckland.

The sculpture references the Ridgeway Circus which used to set up on the roof of the George Courts building on Karangahape Road.  Amongst the circus animals was a baby elephant which would dance to Chubby Checker’s rock’n’roll song ‘Do the Twist.”
