Artists are continually pushing boundaries and attempting to create images that society has never seen before. Artist Jason de Caires Taylor accomplishes just this in his work. Taylor creates life-size cement societies and places them in the depths of the ocean -- just off of the coast of South America. As time progresses, the sculptures become one with the sea lining, acting as the reefs do that cover the sea floor. The aquatic life accepts the sculptures as part of the environment, living on and among the statues. Taylor's work can be found in various bodies of water around South America. Experiencing Taylor's work is far different than the typical gallery visit.
