Hippo Brief - Possible Idea

Hippo emerging from pavement - in the same way they pop the tops of their heads out of water.

• references the discovery of the hippo under the town
• manipulates existing environment whilst being flexible with exact location
• production problems? - materials, glass vs. perspex (safety issues and dexterity), how to make it look professional, weighting it down (if it's outside, damage/theft?)
