Giant Barrel Sponge II

$780.00

This medium size version, would be like an infant in this spnge species.

Sponges are often only seen broken up ashore on our sandy beaches. I wish to rise their profile and reveal not only their beautiful forms, but their role within the ocean’s eco system. As a ‘soft’ animal, we often dont give pause to consider their presence.

I love the irony of a ‘soft’ being becoming a more permanent feature by carving them in stone.

This sponge is truly a giant, they can measure up to 1.8 metres in diameter. The oldest being about 2000 years, that is resilience at its most magnificent.

This magnificent animal is the second oldest on our planet. The consideration of this sponge, allows us to see our part in protection, but also that we are really just youngsters upon this planet.
