Label Text Nila, 2000, resembles a natural historian's study of an Asian elephant, complete with a listing of its attributes. Yet, Ford's work is always much more. It presents the relationship between man and animal and explores how animals have occupied man's dreams and myths throughout our shared histories. This is the second work by Ford to enter the collection. News, Jul August September 2018, p. 10
