Overview

Drawing from the classic horror movies of the 50’s and 60’s, Ocho is part menacing monster, part Jules Verne creation ready to engulf its next prey. Manufactured locally the piece is composed of hand bent steel, laser cut sheet metal and painted foam. LED lights behind the eyes give it undersea life.

Dimensions: 20′ x 30′ x 30′

Goals

To integrate art with a utility restroom facility.
