Artists Statement
Octavia, the Giant Pumpkin germinated in my garden under a full moon. As her devotee, I provided elixirs and she flourished with unfettered abandonment.
At 110kg Octavia began her queenly descent. There was beauty as she shrouded herself in the damp, soft layers of her mortality. ALL HAIL OCTAVIA!
