Jason Decaires Taylor and Art Sculptures Beneath The Water In 2006 Taylor began work on the world's first underwater sculpture park in Grenada, comprising 65 sculptures, each weighing about 6 metric tons and drilled into the seabed, covering 200 square miles. Among his collective works Grace Reef depicts 16 female Grenadian figures lying flat on the ocean floor, The Lost Correspondent is one of those art sculptures of a man sitting at a table with a typewriter, and Vicissitudes, Taylor's most acclaimed work, is a haunting image of 26 children holding hands. In 2009, Taylor was commissioned to create an even larger 500piece underwater museum installation by the Cancun Underwater Museum (MUSA), on Isla Mujeres and Punta Nizuc, Mexico. The sculptures are life-size and attract 150,000 visitors each year.
