I gave one of them a rock base to sit on using my sand/glue mixture. For the colors, the hanging one has a blue gradient that is reminiscent of water, while the standing one is the same color as the sandy

I address this first goal by making two octopi, and with the second goal I tried to use the tentacles of the octopus to create balance and movement around the piece. During the critque I want to look at how I should postition them near each other.

Rachel Whiteread is a sculptor from England who works with casting. She started off casting smaller everyday objects and areas, such as hot water bottles.
