You just can't go wrong with octopi (and poo on the spell-checker for not knowing that word, as they are featured so frequently in contemporary art, mostly famously probably by Robert Mapplethorpe). The color of the tentacles and the hair go really well together, even if it is a little disgusting in the lower left part where I can't identify the anomalous flesh (not that I don't go gross-out work on occasion). Octopodes? (Ha! the dictionary didn't know that version either). Octopuses? Rock on.
Lovely Octopuses. Poor things though. They are extraordinarily and uniquely intelligent in the animal kingdom. The can change color, form, and texture almost instantaneously, and communicate with other octopuses in a visual language unfathomable to use aurally based communicators.
Just out of curiosity, has this model developed a (temporary) aversion to eating octopuses? I wonder what her experience of being covered with those clammy, and possibly smelly, little fellers was like. So much orange!
Beautiful mix of attraction, repulsion, intrigue and revulsion, all rolled up into a delicious seafood female portrait.
