Sand Painting as performance art

[alexxkay]

It's not every day that I become aware of an entirely new art form. Well, new to me. The command of techniques and artistry on display here implies that this form has actually been around a while. 'Drawing' in sand, as a real-time performance, creating, changing, and manipulating images on the fly. Check it out. (Sadly for my vision-impaired friends, the appeal here is entirely visual, and not easy to describe.)

Stunning. Amazing quantities of emotion and detail at a speed I wouldn't have thought possible, and with a medium I had no idea was so nuanced.

Also, everyone should do themselves the favor of following the youtube links in the comments of that page.
