A creature of the oceans, the octopus moves through its constantly moving environment with fluidity and grace. The octopus motif has been a popular design on Greek ceramics and frescoes since the age of the Minoans, and has become a symbol of intelligence.

After drawing our octopuses with thick black permanent marker, we laid down layers of oil pastel followed by black tempera paint. Our original drawings re-emerged as we scratched through the layers with empty ball-point pens. The final result beautifully conveys our octopuses hiding in the ocean depths.
