The artwork showcases a vibrant underwater scene featuring a large, purple octopus as the central subject. The octopus is depicted with intricate details, including textured tentacles adorned with suction cups in shades of blue, white, and orange. The background consists of various hues of blue and teal, evoking the depths of the ocean, with light filtering down from above. Surrounding the octopus are diverse coral formations in rich colors like red, yellow, green, and dark purple, adding depth and complexity to the underwater environment. The overall style combines fluid, organic shapes with a richly textured, almost tactile quality.
This piece was one of 23 felted artworks in Vicki’s three-month solo exhibition at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.
