Louise Leigh: Octopus (Work In Progress)
14 February 2026
The correct plural of octopus is octopuses.
Perhaps if I had tentacles, I’d be better at multitasking. Is my brain inhabited by octopuses? The dream of the fisherman’s wife. These are all thoughts that I’ve had that relate to octopuses. This show may be a repository for these thoughts, or it may be something completely different.
