Walton Ford's Elephant plays on the fable of the blind men and the elephant. Each blind man gripping a different limb and trying to discover what an elephant actually amy be and look like. One has the tusk and says its like a tree, another grabs the leg and says sturdy like a tree, and another the tail like a paintbrush. Walton divides the elephant into sections with a different bird inhabiting each section not aware of what may be occurring in the other but wondering.
