Jim Denevan is an artist who makes freehand drawings in sand. At low tide on wide beaches, Jim searches the shore for a wave tossed stick. After finding a good stick, Jim draws– laboring up to 7 hours and walking as many as 30 miles. The resulting sand drawing is made entirely freehand w/ no measuring aids whatsoever.
Denevan recently made the world's largest freehand drawing on a dry lake in Nevada which measure three mile across. Jim walked for eight days, about 100 miles to draw the pattern. The drawing was transient, as all of Jim's work is: "It was completely erased in a rainstorm the next week... It felt strange to work so hard and not see tide come in. But rains did come which is sort of the same thing."
