This piece is called Pulpo. I made this to enter in a competitive art show at my college. It ended up taking first place in the fiber arts category. Pulpo is 55 inches tall from the top of his head to the tips of his tentacles and 80 inches around his head. I wanted to make a super colorful and fun piece. I chose to make him so gigantic in an attempt to make people notice it. Crochet can go unnoticed so easily in an art gallery. I feel like my purpose on this earth is to help people, artists and viewers alike, see crochet and other fiber “crafts” for the art forms that they truly are.
