About the Work
"I
suspect
there
are
some
sinister
themes
emerging
in
this
selection,
but
I
couldn't
help
but
include
this
photograph
too.
Endlessly
impressive
to
me
that
the
octopus
is
in
fact
real,
for
all
the
reasons
that
can
be
viewed
in
this
work.
I
mean
just
look
at
those
tentacles!
Shocking
stuff."
