Sandy Bottoms is a lighthearted and skillfully executed ephemeral sculpture formed directly from beach sand. The work captures a reclining lower torso, with careful shaping and confident strokes that render a surprisingly lifelike suggestion of the human posterior. The curvature is smoothed yet deliberate, grounded by the play of light and shadow cast across its textured surface.
Positioned beneath open sky and surrounded by the randomness of beachgoers’ footprints and towel corners, the piece offers contrast: a fleeting sculpture in a world of motion. It invites both humor and admiration, encouraging the viewer to consider the body not just as a figure of identity but as a canvas for recreation.
This work draws from traditions of body casting, public play, and land art. It embodies the impermanence of momentary creativity—here, form and fun converge, asking only to be seen before the tide claims its return.
