Mr Hildebrandt pointed out the post over at Spy’s Spice blog on the sand sculptures of Kirk Rademaker, such as the one above. Now, while I can barely erect a small castle with all the edges intact – with a bucket to help me, Mr Rademaker can construct tall, perfectly angled constructions of organic and mechanical fusions. What that means is; I’m in awe of his ability to make giant sand cogs. It amazes me that not only does he construct what looks like the fossilised remains of giant Steampunk sea creatures, beached on land and gently uncovered by the tide, but that these are by their very nature temporary. They may last longer than my usual cuboid-disaster castle, but eventually, they’ll be reduced to sand again. What a medium to use.
