{ speaking of audrey - please check out her newest body of work from her solo show that just opened!
it's amazing as ever and you will not regret seeing them in person. }

as many alien like sea creatures there are, it seems like octopuses (octopi)
have always had provoked something sensual/sexual from the viewers...
fascinating.
