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."
- Natalie Bradburn, ‘My Choice’ February 2023
