 Sand Art - Nature Photography Mother Nature would perhaps entitle these creations "SANDSTRACTS". Her tool being THE OCEAN, and her canvas being THE SAND. These unique sand art images, captured by artist/photographer, Val Grant, were discovered during one of her favorite pastimes; walking the beaches of New England. The drawings themselves are unique for a brief time only: to be erased by either the natural forces of wind and tides, or destroyed by careless (yet unknowing) beach strollers. Through her creative eye and keen sense of design, the eye of the camera's lens became Val's tool to create this original form of nature photography. From the photographic negative to the fine art of the Giclée print on watercolor paper, these abstract images have been transformed to equal the quality of a fine watercolor painting. The only difference is that the artist is Mother Nature. The titles given to each image portray only what the photographer's impression was at the time of discovery. Some of this sand art depict humor, such as "TWO ON A BEACH", which shows the male and female bodies reclining together. Some are philosophical as the triptych which suggests the "Yin and Yang" and others are symbolic of well known images or events such as" DEGAS' DANCER" or "THE DAY OF THE DEAD". Regardless of what each image suggests, they are preserved here for the benefit of your creative imagination, interpretation, and appreciation. The images are faux deckeled and mounted on museum board. ENJOY! |
