Jason deCaires Taylor


Underwater Sculpture by Jason deCaires Taylor

My friend Lisa sent me this image. I went to the artist's website. Seeing his work in person requires the viewer go underwater. Here is a description of his work that I pulled from the site. There are more amazing pictures on his website that you can see by clicking on the link.

Jason de Caires Taylor’s underwater sculptures create a unique, absorbing and expansive visual seascape. Highlighting natural ecological processes Taylor’s interventions explore the intricate relationships that exist between art and environment. His works become artificial reefs, attracting marine life, while offering the viewer privileged temporal encounters, as the shifting sand of the ocean floor, and the works change from moment to moment.
