JIM DENEVAN

Jim Denevan is an artist who is based in Santa Cruz, California, USA. He creates temporary   drawings on sand, earth and ice which are eventually erased by the natural processes of waves and weather. The drawings range in scale and proportion from large scale land works the size of a city to smaller beach compositions. 

Jim's work is really inspiring and so creative. The work he does is at such a large scale in terms of work and the actually scale of the the work. Some of these patterns he has created are amazing and how he makes some of the perfectly symmetrical will be always be a question of mine.

I could use his work as an idea. The large scale drawings into the ground could be something I can do or a guideline. For example, I could create something else, but it could be at a much smaller scale or a large scale version like Jim does.
