A single continuous line describes an elephant from the rear, the animal's broad body and wide, outswept ears rendered with more confidence than the draughtsman perhaps intended. The tail, resolved in a small knot of overlapping strokes at the lower right, is the work's most candid moment - an admission that endings are harder than beginnings. Happylife's commitment to the unbroken line gives the piece an unexpected authority.
