Tentacles

Spring 2016

~26" x 48" each 

Octopuses are fascinating creatures who have amazing intelligence. They are known to camouflage their skin to appear invisible, they can squeeze their bodies through tiny spaces, they have been known to play and pull pranks on humans including escaping from captivity just for fun, and they are even able to detach their arms in dangerous situations. This piece is a tribute to octopuses, to their unique personalities and to their abilities to adapt to their environment. These octopus tentacles are made of geometric forms and are made to look as if they are a continuation of the tree roots as they come out of the ground
