Jim Denevan is an artist that makes temporary drawings on sand, ice, and earth. They are incredible and I can't imagine how long it must take. It also really impresses me that he can think of things on such a large scale and piece them together so perfectly by what seems like free hand talent (I'm not really sure how he does it so perfectly).
"When I'm doing a drawing, I'm personifying the place that is empty. A place that is unmarked."
"People always ask how it feels to have them wash away," adds Denevan, "but who would want it not to wash away?"
Personally, I think I would have a difficult time spending so much time on something that does just go away, but I guess at least he gets a picture out of it! And what great pictures they are...
Here is some of his work:
SAND: Created through the use of a large stick
EARTH: Created using tire tracks
ICE: Created using various equipment and machines
