Text from “The Pearl Divers dream exhibition”:
This initially amusing product is the culmination and finale to the entire Pearl Diver’s series. It’s packaging and signage not only represent an octopus themed sex toy, but also the reality of what the ‘Dream of the Fisherman’s wife’ image is portraying. An octopus has a beak for a mouth; a beak that is more than capable of biting through rock and tough shells.
Special note:
This piece wouldn’t have been possible without the 3D printed octopi’s beak by Kid Kenpachi – he’s an absolute ‘raconteur’ wizard! From the very first time I mentioned my idea he was onboard and excited to help me create my vision. THANKS HEAPS!
