"Devilfish Nebula" by Troy's Work Table. Carport chalking for Friday 06 March 2015.

Art is play.

The paper collage work I've been doing with third and fourth graders found its way onto the carport concrete. It encountered the "devilfish" of the Northwest Coast peoples, better known today as the octopus, in sidewalk chalk, chalk pastels, and charcoal.

This devilfish nurtures a creature of its own making: a star born of a nebula, as an egg nurtured by She, the Mother Octopus, the Black Star Octopus, consort of the Watcher of the Deep, as well as Creator of her own mythos. She is the loving Mother that breathes over her egg, a constant companion until this star egg is on its own. Until it swims the sea of the heavens in its own right.
