New York-based artist Calvin Seibert builds elaborate architectural sand castles.
quote [Building "sandcastles" is a bit of a test. Nature will always be
against you and time is always running out. Having to think fast and to
bring it all together in the end is what I like about it.
I rarely
start with a plan, just a vague notion of trying to do something
different each time. Once I begin building and forms take shape I can
start to see where things are going and either follow that road or
attempt to contradict it with something unexpected.
In my mind
they are always mash-ups of influences and ideas. I see a castle, a
fishing village, a modernist sculpture, a stage set for the oscars all
at once.
When they are successful they don't feel contained or
finished. They become organic machines that might grow and expand. I
am always adding just one more bit and if time allowed I wouldn't stop].
