About this artwork
and about a half-yard long; it's a rag; this shape
looks like a closed umbrella that does not have a handle. This
loque advances towards you little by little.
Suddenly, she opens, eight rays abruptly parting around a face that has two eyes; these rays live; there is a blaze in their undulation; it is a kind of wheel; deployed, she is four or five feet in diameter.
Enormous… development. It is thrown at you. Hydra harpoon
the man. [...] Its knots are knotty; his contact paralyzes. [...]
This monster is the one that sailors call octopus, that science
called cephalopod, and that legend calls kraken.

Credentials
- Works on commission
« Being an islander, the sea fascinates me. »
Rosy Auguste was born in Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe. For several years, she worked as a health professional in France, a job that has since inspired her artistic expression. In order to combine her work as a nurse and her passion for art, she set up creative workshops for people who were ill, in particular those with mental health issues. This initiative solidified her love of art and dedication to helping others. Her contemporary works focuses exclusively on images of the ocean which serve as methaphor for various emotional states and experiences.
