AI IMAGE!!! So all my online images have been harvested over the years to create a “Jason deCaires Taylor” filter, along with a host of other artists. (Of course no copyright acknowledgment)
Results look pretty depressing and empty to me. Regulation is so desperately needed. What do you think?

The new sculptures are lifecasts, portraying a small cross section of the local Whitstable community (including members of SOS Whitstable); a cold water swimmer, school child, kite surfer, lifeboat volunteer and local fisherman. Each holds a profound connection to the sea and a shared resolve to combat water pollution.

The simultaneous installation of this new artwork and Southern Water’s release of untreated sewage onto the surrounding coastal area for a staggering 89 hours in the same week underscores the pressing urgency of the crisis. Discharges of sewage still occur frequently along this coastline and are often unseen activities that happen during the cover of darkness or through outlets that are concealed by the tides.

Sirens of Sewage

New protest sculpture installation on Whitstable Beach

Much of what happens in our oceans and seas is often concealed beneath its vast, endearing blue surface. It masks its fragility well.
Over the past year, alongside the passionate team @soswhitstable , I’ve embarked on an important journey to create a focal point for one of the most persistent and insidious threats facing the UK’s coastlines and waterways: sewage pollution.

The simultaneous installation of this new artwork and Southern Water’s @southernwatermedia release of untreated sewage onto the surrounding coastal area for a staggering 89 hours this week underscores the pressing urgency of the crisis.

We are living through difficult times marked by strikes and protests, with many of our public services and natural resources being driven towards financial or environmental collapse. As these crises unfold, it falls increasingly upon local communities and ordinary citizens to champion their rights and safeguard the ecological balance. I hope that this artwork serves as a testament to their struggle and ongoing resilience.

This sculpture installation is part of my Siren series. A global network of artworks that draw attention to marine issues, often hidden from plain sight, such as warming oceans, overfishing and plastic pollution. Originally intended for placement in a tidal area along the adjacent coastline, the project encountered resistance from local authorities and is now situated on private land.

Huge thank you to the Bertha Foundation for funding this initiative.
