Li Doo Mooh is a life-size adolescent elephant made from the invasive weed “lantana camera” by villagers in India’s Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. She is part of The Great Elephant Migration Project.
Nepenthe Gallery purchased her in Los Angeles and brought her across the country to showcase her at River Farm. Welcome Li Doo Mooh!
A portion of the proceeds from all pieces in our Sculpture Garden installation will go to the American Horticultural Society (AHS).
