Discovering a Sand Artist creating unique Sand Art
I happened upon Sand art on Port Sydney beach in Maskoka Ontario. The surrealistic sculpture grabbed the attention of all the visitors to this small lakeside beach. First it looked like two friends playing in the sand but then we realized she was building a sand sculpture. The sculpture was going to be destroyed by the tide. The artist had no plans to take pictures or to use this sculpture for casting or any other long term project. It was up to those of us with cameras to capture this sand art. I chose to capture the creative process rather then the finished project. I found art while observing her sculpting skills and the moment of questioning whether it was an actual person in the sand rather then a sand sculpture.
