Octopus Metal Sculpture - Jugg-ernaut - 33h x 37w x 52d cm

Jugg-ernaut is a dynamic freestanding octopus sculpture by Australian artist Simon Treseder, crafted from recycled metals and a repurposed metal jug. The work transforms discarded industrial materials into a playful yet commanding marine form, capturing the octopus’s intelligence, fluidity, and subtle humour.

The sculpture’s articulated tentacles extend and curl with a sense of rhythm, suggesting motion frozen in time. Treseder’s careful assembly celebrates both the textures of reclaimed metal and the inventive possibilities of sustainable art practice. Each element retains its industrial character while being harmoniously integrated into a singular sculptural presence.

This one-of-a-kind artwork makes a compelling addition to contemporary collections, particularly for those drawn to marine subjects, innovative material use, and pieces that combine wit with refined craftsmanship. Its freestanding form invites 360° engagement, allowing collectors to appreciate the intricate balance and detail from every angle.
