Sand As Medium 1997-2002
Part One
A sand installation / sculpture / medium concept created by Jean-Pierre
H�bert. A ball etches the sand, pulled invisibly by concealed means. This
quiet, interactive installation can create beautiful sand etchings for
the beholder's enjoyment and for spiritually inclined meditations.
The first image on this page (3 rocks) shows a recent sand etching
by "Sisyphus"; it is about four square feet in size.
