Jim Denevan - drawings in the sand



Jim Denevan draws in the sand with sticks and rakes. What interests me about his work is the fact that due to its nature, it can only be temporary. Any photographs of it represent a moment in time.

I am interested in transience in society, moments which can only be represented by a moment, as opposed to a longer period of time.

Obviously this sand drawing lasts longer than a moment, but the fact that it was made knowing that it would soon fade is something I am interested in, observing the before and after effects of a piece of art work.
