This octopus appears to burst forth in a continuous motion, its tentacles coiling and intertwining in an almost hypnotic interplay of curves. The light, crackled surface of the raku highlights every contour and twist, whilst the darker shades accentuate the piece’s depth. Combining strength and fluidity, the sculpture evokes all the strangeness and elegance of this extraordinary creature.
