Artist, urban pioneer, historian, architectural preservationist, thrifter, music appreciator and aspiring bassist,
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Hamtramck (MI) Disneyland
Built by Dmytro Szylak, a retired General Motors assembly line worker, it started out as a simple hobby. But it quickly grew to be a towering assemblage of hand-carved and found objects, two-stories tall and miraculously teetering between the two garages of the retired Ukranian auto worker. The mass of materials spins and sways in the wind and lights up at night, while traditional Ukranian folk music pours out of the attached speakers.
The amazing spectacle is located in an alley in an alley off of Klinger Street in Hamtramck, Michigan.
