Art & Design: 'Lines In The Sand' - Land Artist Jim Denevan, Story Via Eco-Salon.com
April 13, 2011
Read the article by Leigha Oaks here.
Although nowhere near as intricate,
and completed by a single individual instead of a group,
Jim's art conveys a similar message regarding the
impermanence and fragility of nature
in the way of a Tibetan sand Mandala.
Jim puts his essence into his art,
and then lets it go;
cleared by the tides and the winds,
into the eternal coming-and-going of nature.

ReplyDelete@MikeB - cool of you to notice that! I actually did not notice the calming, soothing feeling I got from looking at it, until you mentioned it. Thank you!
