Decent sand was available on the north side of the isthums, which is unusual but welcome because it reduced the transport distance. I was tired from work and all the weekend activity so building went slowly.
The only real plan was to make the sculpture look less as if it started as a cylinder. My concentration was lacking, so the goal was only partially met. Typical. Sand sculpture calls for many aspects being managed simultaneously and I just didn't have it this day. The result was heavy, but with some nice moves. At the time I liked it better than I do now, in January of 1999. This one was nearly the last of its style. | ||||||||||
