The ephemerality is one of the things that attracts me to working in materials like sand. Knowing my work can not be owned except in the eye and mind of beholder is very liberating. Once I finish a sculpture it is like all of the creative energy is in the piece and I can somehow disconnect from it. There have been one or two sculptures that I would have liked to keep but in general I can only see the mistakes I made. That said, I have experimented with taking molds and also used elements of some in other more permanent sculptures. Thanks for you question.
