Ayers, Megan Title: Sea Sponge

Megan Ayers Sea Sponge 8.5 x 4.5 x 4" Underglaze on Clay $300 Sea sponges are an often overlooked group of animals but are beautiful in their own unique ways. Artist's Statement: I draw inspiration from nature and want to share the joy and appreciation I have for it with everyone.  Clay as a medium is inherently tactile, and the way it feels while sculpting and the texture of the finished piece, adds as much life and movement to a sculpture as the shape and color. For my work, it's all about the details. I really enjoy focusing on the little things that are easily missed, like a snail on the stem of a flower or the way the shape of an eye can evoke an emotion.
