Hey ocean lovers! 🌊 Kenyan-British artist Megan White is flipping our view of beauty – one clay crab at a time! 🦀 She draws inspo from delicate coral ecosystems and the gritty textures of the ocean floor to create ceramics that feel alive.
Instead of only focusing on Insta-famous reefs, Megan highlights the underdogs of the deep – crabs, lobsters, shells and more. With her arsenal of vibrant glazes (think next-level ceramic paints), she transforms these creatures into colorful, textured masterpieces.
Her work is a shout-out to resilience. Just like coastal communities in the Bay of Bengal bouncing back after monsoons, these sea critters endure tough conditions. Megan's art reminds us of nature's gritty spirit and why we need to protect it. 💪🌏
The process is pretty chill to grasp: hand-sculpt clay forms, layer on glazes – kinda like stacking filters on your fave selfie – and fire it in a kiln till it's rock-solid. The end result? Ceramic pieces that leap off the shelf with stunning detail and color.
Whether you're soaking up sun on a Mumbai beach, exploring Bali's shores, or simply scrolling your feed, Megan's ocean-inspired ceramics will give you a fresh perspective on the deep blue. Dive into her world and get inspired to see beauty in the unexpected! ✨
