Jason deCaires Taylor specializes in underwater sculptures. His newest peice on the banks of the River Stour is made from recycled glass and incorporates environmental sensors and LEDs!
From Instagram:
Made from recycled glass and marine stainless steel, the work incorporates environmental sensors and is lit from within at night. The work references the painting “Ophelia” by John Everett Millais. A character from Shakespeare’s Hamlet which some have suggested could have been inspired by events which took place on the stour.
This new work replaces a previous installation which was damaged during river dredging several years ago.
