jim denevan

jim denevan is an american artist renowned for his temporary land art. through his work, he interacts with the earth’s topography to create installations of varying scale in sand, earth, and ice. these pieces range from smaller beach compositions to large land works the size of a city. each is ephemeral in nature, disappearing with the tides, the winds, the seasonal progressions. in the tables he sets and the land artworks he creates, there is an element of organic impermanence at play.
