octopus

June 9 2017
They started out as a different method to support the humpback whale but they evolved into their own right.
Finished the first one today after weeks of development and construction.
I am looking forward to making more of these wondrous creatures.

Edition two. A new octopus uncurls and sashays from the studio to take her place on Gallery Pacific's display shelves.
She is depicted as free swimming and relishing her environment.
Mounted on Totara and has the support shaft wrapped in loose rusty barbed wire

The first octopus I designed and cast although he is the third to be completed. I took molds off this one and refined it into the second version above and below. He is bulkier with thicker tentacles.
December 2018. Sold by the excellent Gallery Pacific, he  now lives in Canada. Thanks to the staff and to the client for appreciating my work.

Edition three. Curling around her perch, she watches for a unwary creature to swim by. Gallery Pacific was again the host to one of my favourite bronzes.
October 2018.
Almost a year to the day from the first one and less than a month on display, this sculpture has been seen for the wonderful creature it depicts and now resides in Florida. Again, my thanks to the gallery staff and my compliments to the client for appreciating my work.
