Het is altijd verbazingwekkend wat er van zand gemaakt kan worden, heel mooi Gerard!

Great work, Gerard! What on Texel inspired you to make sand sculptures of one of Americas best known prisons? By the way, what's the secret that keeps the sand in these forms without blowing or rinsing away in wind and rain or simply during the sculpturing process?

amazing. Gerard, you are the master of photographing other artists work. No distortion, perfect exposure, and interesting point of view. Escellent Tabblo!

Thank you David, Anke, it is not my own work but from different "carvers" and the them was "islands" for more information see the link to a wikipediasite; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_art_and_play)
Pam, I want to do it perfectly, if it were my own art (and as I write about myself; I think that i'm a collector. A collector of impressions and beautiful things that i will remember and to share with other people).
Annelies, Rhonda, Rosane and Ira for your vist and nice cooments

You did this sculptures by yourself! This is a great work. In my mind, very actually because all this pain of boat people from Africa...

Dag Gerard, om dit vrijheids beeld zijn ze in Amerika vast vreselijk jaloers. Ik heb veel van deze mooie zandsculptures gezien volgens mij bij Neeltje Jans ( de Delta Werken ) Het zij echt kunstwerken.
