Jim Denevan makes land art, temporary sculptures on the sandy beaches. Using only a stick and a rake, the drawings exist for a few hours before they are erased by the incoming tides. One has to view the drawings from 150 feet up or more in order to see them in their entirety. In this Spark video produced by KQED, Denevan composes two sand works and talks about his meditations and his process. Original air date: May 2005.
