RE: Asian Montage - sand sculpture
Hi Daniel, that was very interesting to read your adventure with this project.I can imagine that a lot depends on the quality of sand and this is your tool, the same like other artists using paints and for example watercolor paper or canvases, if you do on lower quality of course you will create something but it will be a challenge for the Artist to make it look good.
I am glad that you guys stayed together against the organizer hope understood his failure. The sculpture looks amazing and such impressive details.
Thank you for taking us in this journey.
Thank you so much for the curation and comment. Sand comes in many different qualities and each dictate what is possible to carve. If you want complex structures you need very strong sand if you want detail you need a fine sand. This organiser had certain things in mind that he wanted made and yet he got us whatever sand he could get cheapest making our job much harder but in hindsight I actually like how the sand looked although it was not a joy to work with.
