Sand as a Medium 1997-2002
A sand installation / sculpture / medium concept created by Jean-Pierre Hébert. A ball etches the sand, pulled invisibly by concealed means. This quiet, interactive installation can create beautiful sand etchings for the beholder’s enjoyment and for spiritually inclined meditations. Some of the pieces were made by Ho, this is the name for the collaboration between Jean-Pierre Hébert and Bruce Shapiro.
