Artist Jim Denevan creates temporary geometric drawings on sand, earth and other natural surfaces that are ultimately erased by Mother Nature’s natural processes.  His brushes range from found materials like a large stick to the occasional gasoline powered vehicle (to achieve massive scale).  Most, if not all, of his work is best viewed from above.

Relatively little, or no, raw materials are used in his creative – I’ll forgive him the gasoline for the truck and the fuel for the small plane used for photographing his work – as a small price to pay for the breathtaking impact of his work.

Now – can we call Jim’s work geoArt?
