Spiridoula the Octopus
When Hilton’s new waterfront hotel needed a central focal point, Elizabeth MacQueen sought to embrace the marine culture with an extraordinary symbol, the octopus. The final development was carried out in Merrimack, New Hampshire then the finished components were shipped to Sarasota. Due to its massive size and weight, Spiridoula was installed with the help of an industrial crane. The five paneled octopus is 25 feet long, 15 feet high, and 5 inches in width. Over 350 square feet of individual glass shards were meticulously placed. The pool in front of it spans the entire length and is 7 feet wide giving visitors a place sit and relax.
Completed: 2017
Type: Commercial
Medium: Glass Mosaic
Size: 18' x 8' x 25'
Open: 8AM - 9PM
