Sand Art - Timelapse Video
Back In the day we used to create Sand Circles on Ocean Beach in San Francisco.
We used simple geometry to create scalable shapes which we could make large scale on the beach. My friend Tony Grisey filmed the making of this from the top of Sutro Heights cliff as we tried to finish the piece before the tide rolled back in. (we didnt make it and Tony ran out of battery power right before the water ate the edge of our piece.)
More photos from this particular circle
Heres an archive of other circles we’ve done in the past.
I am currently looking for collaborators to work with in the oregon coast area. Currently looking for a video monkey to do the timelapse video, and collaborators. Please email if you are interested in collaborating late spring in a camp out on the Oregon Coast and making some epic sand art.

[…] From the Flower of Life you can extrapolate the “Fruit of Life” which if you connect all the center points of these circles together you end up with Metatrons cube - of which you can selectively show lines to create all 5 of the platonic solids as illustrated below. What i find most fascinating is that this geometry is not only fractal but can grow in Octaves. Which makes it very useful for practical applications such as the creation of art work or creating structures that can scale infinitely which is useful for such things as the sand circles we used to do.
