Last Exit Before Oblivion: May 2005
http://lastexitbefore.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Last Exit Before Oblivion. Tuesday, May 31, 2005. Breezze has an interesting post. Over on her Blog, about a conference she attended. I left her a comment on one aspect of what she wrote, and her response led to more questions. It's a long-running question in my mind: How do you change people? Specifically, how do people become followers of Jesus in more than words? Are they made, or are they grown? We're all babies when it comes to relating to God. We may look adult, but we're not. We think we k...I wan...

Last Exit Before Oblivion: Toward Freedom XXXIV
http://lastexitbefore.blogspot.com/2014/11/toward-freedom-xxxiv.html
Last Exit Before Oblivion. Friday, November 14, 2014. God, who made the universe and all of its life, looks at people and sees. what? For him, all of time and space are spread out under his gaze and feel. One day I was working on a sand sculpture. It was a busy day on the beach, and the place I'd chosen to build was right in the middle of the traffic. The sun was racing to the western sky and I had a sculpture to finish. Are you going to leave that rough place inside there? A man passing by asked. Like l...

Last Exit Before Oblivion: August 2004
http://lastexitbefore.blogspot.com/2004_08_01_archive.html
Last Exit Before Oblivion. Thursday, August 26, 2004. I've been thinking lately about the story of Peter and John meeting the crippled beggar by the temple. He'd been crippled all his life. Peter and John have no money, but "What I have I will give to you. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, get up and walk.". It takes children years to learn this. God entered this man's mind and gave him the ability to walk, in all of its balanced and unpredictable complexity. Walking, it turns out, is pretty much a learn...

Last Exit Before Oblivion: Toward Freedom XXXII
http://lastexitbefore.blogspot.com/2014/11/toward-freedom-xxxii.html
Last Exit Before Oblivion. Tuesday, November 11, 2014. Nothing, Nowhere, Nobody. Big locks on a strong door might as well be painted in day-glo orange, with an accompanying sign that reads "Valuable Stuff Inside." Save time and hand out engraved invitations to every thief, vandal and raider in the neighborhood. Big fancy tombs in Egypt were plundered before the concrete had set. The excavated materials landed on top of other tombs, hiding them so they could be dug up thousands of years later. The better ...

The Year in Sand: 2002: 02M-11
http://yis2002.blogspot.com/2007/03/02m-11.html
The Year in Sand: 2002. An overview, with images and stories, of my sand sculptures in 2002. It was a busy year, with old ideas coming to new shapes, and new ideas following them. People wander the damp narrow brick street under myriads of colored lights. Shop fronts are glowing and fake frost decorates their windows. Even in a place where one has to drive an hour to find snow, it's associated with holidays. I'll be right there! A couple of cats come out, and then become alert. Here it is.". Unfortunatel...

The Year in Sand: 2002. An overview, with images and stories, of my sand sculptures in 2002. It was a busy year, with old ideas coming to new shapes, and new ideas following them. The Architect and the Ringer. Hi Who are you with? Great You're in plot #3, over there.". Thanks. Is there anything in the rules about using only sand within the plot? OK I'll go get the rest of my equipment.". Two eager surfers, pausing on their way to the waves. I was hired to do the job.". Oh, a ringer! June 30. That's a...

The Year in Sand: 2003. May 17: 03F-5, "Choosing to Join". Well, now. Don't you look nice! The kilt suits you well. And there's something more. Walk differently? Something in your face? Yah I don't understand it. I do enjoy it. No one knows what a change this is, from clothing as pure utility to wearing something I like partly because I look good in it.". What's it like walking around that way? Come on by," he said. "I have something for you.". So, what do you have this time? He heads for the back room, ...

The Year in Sand: 2003: February 15: 03M-4
http://yis2003.blogspot.com/2005/06/february-15-03m-4.html
The Year in Sand: 2003. This is another offshoot of the multiple experiment. I free-piled all the sand for this rather than using forms, and this enabled better base integration. The time pressure was even greater because these, being below the tide line, get wiped out early. They're smaller so quicker to make, but as the year progressed I got into more detail. 03M-2 and M-3 were precursor experiments done in late January. I didn't take any pictures of them. 1765 by Larry @. Comments: Post a Comment.

The Year in Sand: 2003. I'd had so much fun with 03M-4, and was so fascinated by the concept of integrating landscape and sculpture, that I went back the next day and tried again. 1765 by Larry @.
