Sponge sculpture: a new occupation in art
Arlene Wingate, a New Yorker and former Archipenko student, develops sponge sculpture on a Connecticut vacation. She buys 9 to 12 inch Mediterranean sponges, bleaches to pale yellow, dyes them, and assembles about 12 to 14 sponges into a life size figure on a wire frame. The art uses lighter material than stone, though costs run similar to traditional media.
