This octopus reaches out. Searching, seeking, and traveling.

The spiral paper, with its repeating ammonite-like pattern inspired me to pay tribute to a fascinating group of invertebrates known as cephalopods. Cephalopods are intelligent, resourceful, personable, and biologically fascinating. With no bones, the octopus can squeeze through tiny holes. They change skin texture and color in an instant, and are known for their curiosity and resourcefulness. Octopuses, cuttlefish, and squid are closely related, and the nautilus is their cousin. Ammonites, the ancient fossils, are more related to the squid and the octopus than they are to the nautilus. Their relationship can be seen in their fossilized mouth parts.
