About this ebook
A one-of-a-kind blend of art, nature, and conservation, The Underwater Museum re-creates an awe-inspiring dive into the dazzling under-ocean sculpture parks of artist Jason deCaires Taylor. Taylor casts his life-size statues from a special kind of cement that facilitates reef growth, and sinks them to the ocean floor. There, over time, the artworks attract corals, algae, and fish, and evolve into beautiful and surreal installations that are also living reefs. This volume brings readers face to face with these wonders and explains the science behind their creation. Ocean enthusiasts, divers, art lovers, and anyone entranced by the natural world will be instantly engrossed by this pearl of a book.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/549/2021. The Underwater Museum with photos by Jason deCaires Taylor and two essays, by an art critic (5pgs) and a marine biologist (8pgs), is a like a museum exhibition catalogue featuring the author's earlier works in Grenada and Mexico. The art photography is stunning, and the ecological intention of helping natural marine reef-building using carefully constructed sculptures of local people is fascinating. There are photos from the creation and installation of the sculptures, and later photos of organisms inhabiting their new undersea proto-reef homes.QuoteFrom Helen Scales, marine biologist: "the earliest artificial reefs are thought to date back to the sixteenth century in Japan, when people threw bamboo logs onto the seabed to attract fish and boost their catches."Description: "A celebration of rejuvenation, the wings of the angelic figure in Reclamation are planted with reclaimed purple gorgonian sea fans that had been displaced from the natural reef after heavy storm surges."
