Lines in the Sand: Artist Jim Denevan Turns<br />

Beaches into Temporary Geometric Artworks<br />

For well over a decade California artist Jim Denevan (previously) has<br />

made his mark in the sand, etching elaborate geometric artworks on<br />

beaches around the world using little more than a rake or found stick.<br />

The pieces last only a few hours, or begin disappearing even as he<br />

works, as the tides quickly erase each design leaving only a memory<br />

or a photograph. Great Big Story recently visited Denevan and shot<br />

this brief profile of the artist as he created a number of pieces.
