Newsprint papers surround octopus sculptures on tables
Time-Worn newspaper pages mingle with worn leather and mottled brown skin indigo eyes piercing through ink and shadows eerie hands curl around papersGilded armchair legs support a majestic figure, an octopus-headed man resplendent in tailcoat and top hat, seated amidst scattered newspapers that cascade across the floor like a tumble of brown and black confetti. Elegant fingers, long and slender, hold a newspaper aloft, as if weighing its importance, while other, more muscular tentacles curl around the chair and papers, their suckers leaving faint impressions on the worn leather. Delicate, almost translucent, skin of the octopus's head is a deep, mottled brown, while his eyes, a piercing shade of indigo, seem to bore into the pages of the paper. Nearby, another newspaper, held by a pair of hands eerily similar to the octopus's, lies open, its headlines and realistic scenery a jumble of black and red ink.
