Jason de Caires Taylor

From looking underwater as our initial research for the creative team module I came across an artist called Jason de Caires Taylor. Jason is an under water sculpture in which he creates artificial coral reefs to reduce the human trafficking from the natural coral reefs. these reefs gradually change over time creating, texture, colour and a home for the sea life.
400 sculptures underwater - Cancun, Mexico.
These sculptures remind me of an underwater heaven. Each of these people were handpicked to be casted and sculpted to make it more real. They all have their eyes shut from the casting however this give me shivers as I feel like they are all dead. This is one piece of art work I will go and see.
A home from sealife.

I think his work is amazing, not only is it creating an ever changing piece of artwork, it is also helping the earth. This is what every artist/designer should consider.
