I am always interested in how creative people express themselves. There is something very I find very relaxing about creating large scale ephemeral art. Every summer I create temporary beach art / typography with seaweed collected from the shoreline.

Couple of examples:

Generally the process involves sketching out the design in the sand, then collecting 3-5, 39 gallon yard bags worth of seaweed. I then slowly trace the design and weave the seaweed into itself and the sand. These projects take about 4 - 8 hours depending on the scarcity of the seaweed and the size of the design. They disappear with in just a few days due to weather and human and animal activity.

So tell me, artists of tildes, what weird stuff do you create?

Edit: words

Who are your favorite artists and what excites you about their work? Is there a general style or period you cherish or a do you enjoy a smorgasbord of eras?

I got into a discussion tonight about favorite artists with my partner and we ended up down a fascinating rabbit hole of what I found so appealing about them. Art can be such a unique, personal, and even intimate experience and I'd love to hear your own experiences.
