Anybody feel like using the 'I don't think that's possible' excuse should look at this artist. His underwater sculptures are sensational to say the least. Yea, underwater sculptures! My favorite is the La Jardinera de la Esperanza (The Garderner Of Hope) in Cancun, Mexico.
Working out of his studio in London, his sculptures have seen acclaim both on land and water. The beautiful, natural reef like creations give the sculptures a worn out,been-there-for-a-hundred-years look.
Antiquated on land is an old concept, Jason's work is the new inspiration in a competing world of wonders.
Check him out at his underwater hideout:)

This stuff is almost creepy - Atlantis-like. I couldnt see the picture of him in his underwater studio, but I would think he could produce this over land, and install underwater. Why produce under water?
ReplyDeletehey, i am just gonna paste stuff from his site that explains exactly why he has to work that way. hope it helps. r u back in spore?
ReplyDelete"The experience of being underwater is vastly different from that of being on land. There are physical and optical considerations that must be taken into account. Objects appear twenty five percent larger underwater, and as a consequence they also appear closer. Colours alter as light is absorbed and reflected at different rates, with the depth of the water affecting this further. The light source in water is from the surface, this produces kaleidoscopic effects governed by water movement, currents and turbulence. Water is a malleable medium in which to travel enabling the viewer to become active in their engagement with the work. The large number of angles and perspectives from which the sculptures can be viewed increase dramatically the unique experience of encountering the works."
