About the Art

Inspired by the flowing form of seagrass on the Louisiana gulf, SEAGRASS is a permanent suspended sculpture designed to capture a singular moment where the blades are dancing underwater.

Interactive lighting creates various colorways and subtle patterns in response to live atmospheric data collected in real-time from weather stations at Cocodrie and hydrographic instruments behind the LUMCON property.

The 700 custom-dyed blades are made from a translucent material treated with a gradient coloring process, which captures the natural daylight and heightens the feeling of life emanating from the sculpture.
