KQED: Spark* - Jim Denevan
| Content Provider | WatchKnowLearn |
|---|---|
| Description | Jim Denevan performs drawings -- making temporary sculptures on the sandy beaches of Northern California. Using only a stick and a rake, Denevan's work is monumental in scale but as fleeting as any live performance. Spark tails Denevan in San Francisco and Santa Cruz as he composes two sand works and talks about his meditations and his process.It was Denevan's passion for surfing that led to his vision of the beach as a blank canvas. The shapes he fashions -- spirals and other simple geometrics -- are familiar, yet their scale and location are particular and proportions amazingly precise. The drawings exist for a few precious hours before they are erased by the incoming tides, and one has to view the drawings from 150 feet up or more in order to see them in their entirety. |
