Jacques Cousteau by Ken Knowlton, 1987, sea shell mosaic
Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans,” said Jacques Cousteau (long-time explorer, describer and protector of the oceans and life therein).
This mosaic portrait is made of seashells and sea debris and its layout was guided by the artist’s computer-generated plan. The artwork was commissioned by/for the San Francisco Exploratorium at dimensions of 32″x 26″ in 1987.
