ARTIST’S REFLECTION
“There’s something magical about squid— the way they move, problem-solve, and disappear into the deep. Calamari is my tribute to that quiet brilliance.”
— J. Libro
Calamari - Signature Collection
CURATOR’S NOTE
Calamari brings a sense of play and intelligence to The Hook collection. With its flowing arms and watchful eye, this piece captures the curiosity and adaptability of one of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures.
John Libro’s careful selection of slender driftwood pieces creates movement, balance, and a lightness that suggests the squid gliding effortlessly through open water.
