The central idea of Regan Kinney's concentration is to explore various styles and mediums, while at the same time, keeping an octopus the focus of each piece.
In the beginning, the artist was intrigued by the octopus as an individual creature, as well as some of their intricate details. However, in image 4, she was inspired to experiment with vibrant colors and digital painting. The inspiration did not stick as Kinney realized that she enjoyed more detailed and drawing based pieces. As the artist's concentration progressed, she developed a curiosity for the way an octopus would react with the environment or objects surrounding it. These interactions became more complex and unusual as the pieces progressed and they eventually led Kinney to play with the focus of human and octopus interactions.
