Some old stuff...

Hey, and why not?
Here is a life-size soft sculpture of a giant squid I made for downtown Providence's window installation series, Providence Art Windows . For a few months last spring, my giant squid sculpture hung suspended in a shop window on the corner of Westminster. I was very happy to be given the opportunity to insert a giant sea monster in the heart of downtown Providence. Read my artist statement here.

I plan on putting the Squid in a larger installation where he can swim freely in his own picture-window deep-sea habitat.


The Squid's eyes are hand-beaded, and the suction cups on his longer tentacles are vintage chandelier crystals. These features glittered in the sunlight-I wish it was easier to capture.
