Octopus Fork Sculpture Wall Hook
Item Number: 8
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
A handcrafted Octopus wall hook made from a vintage European continental silverplate table fork. Comes with two black wood screws, which form the 'eyes' of the octopus and allow you to mount it on any wood surface.
The metal hook measures approximately 3 inches tall, 3.5 inches wide, and 2 inches deep. Choose between metal hook only, or mounted on a nicely finished, 10"x10" wood display plaque, signed by the artist
Sculpture is available in two different versions: 'heavy duty' with fully textured fork tine tentacles, or 'light duty' with partially textured fork tine tentacles.
From artist Doug Heifetz:
"The octopus is among the most intelligent and graceful creatures of the sea.
As much as I admire the creature's aquatic grace, it doesn't exactly help me feel better about my clumsy existence. You know what I find cathartic, though? I love to imagine an octopus who acts as clumsy, reckless, impulsive and temperamental as us humans. Call it schadenfreude, or 'misery loves company', or art imitating life.
Whatever you call it, this functional fork sculpture decorates the wall nicely and hangs lots of things in place. It may not help you get a grip on that bad temper of yours, but it will neatly hold your keychain, dog leash, small handbag or backpack, jacket, etc."
