These works are based on subaquatic photographs the artist took of reefs in the Maldives: the archipelago of 1000 islands, significant in being the lowest country in the world (at 3 metres on average above sea level), is the most vulnerable country to ocean level rise. Bayliss Brown is fascinated by pre-historic art and in this series he has used primitive methods of charcoal drawing, hand painting and distemper (earth pigments suspended in animal glue), applied using a primitive handmade twig brush - these techniques are based of those in use 20,000 years ago by the artists of the Franco-Calabrian region, such as Lascaux Cave, France.  The subject matter of undersea-scapes focus on coral, because it is an ecological indicator species for monitoring climate change and a symbol of the earth’s health and vulnerability. The materials and methods are designed to connect the viewer to our ancient ancestors and reflect on the destructive impact of humans, since their time, on the hidden beauty of this undersea paradise.
