Sand Drawings :: Jim Denevan

29 Jul

Jim Denevan is an artist based out of Santa Cruz, California who travels the globe creating large scale pieces of land art.  Drawn on sand, earth, and ice, these incredible works of art are both created and destroyed by the very materials that enable their existence.

Unlike Robert Smithson, known for the Spiral Jetty, Denevan's work feels less about sticking it to The Man (the over-commercialization of art) and more about the ephemeral nature of man himself.  Or, maybe he just does it because it looks cool.  Thoughts?
