2009 Zhoushan 2009

From the 11th until the 30th of September I have been the artistic leader of the international sand sculpture festival in Zhoushan again! Before that I made the artist impression.

The weather was good and the project was running smooth. So I had time to carve something myself. A wall with Italian paintings.

From the 9th until the 15th of may Kevin, Lip, Rodrigo and me work on the Namdaemun temple. The roof of this temple was burned in 2008, so it was an honor to reconstruct this temple in sand!

2008 Ice Brugge 2008

2008 Zhoushan 2008

Sunday the 14th of september 2008 I'm flying to Zhoushan for the second time in my life. Tomorrow 10 international artists will work together with a team of Chinese artists to start carving the 10th sand sculpture on this beach. And for this project I'm Artistic leader. My work started over a month ago with helping to design the individual sand sculptures. After this I made the Artist Impression. The theme for the project is World Wonders of islands.

When I arrive the sand is untouched, it will remain untouched during the hole first working day because weather brought cast predicted a typhoon.

On thursday the project starts!

Here you can see the real sand sculpture of Madagascar next to the sketch I made for it. This sculpture won the first price in a competition with 10 other sand sculptures from islands. The sculpture is made by Kevin and Jacub.

Here we see Australia made by Sandis and Marjolijn.

Sometimes there is time for me to help out a little. Here I made the scuba diver for Australia.

The sunshiny island of Hawaii made by Hanneke an Enguerrand.

Among world famous islands we also make sand sculptures from famous local islands. On a beach of Xiushan Island in Daishan County, east China's Zhejiang Province, ten thousands of tourists from home and abroad like to play sports named "Crazy for Mud". Programs include speed skating, hula hoop, and tug-of-war are all carried out on sea mud. These sports also mark the opening of the Sea Mud Carnival on the island's beach.

A bust from Darwin on the Galapagos Island, made by Sergi

The project is divided in a part for international artists and a part for Chinese artists. Here we see the sculpture of Duangu Port by the Chinese artists.

An overview from the project in progress.

During this event CCTV is organizing an extra sand sculpture competition for international tv. This is a lot of fun and will spice up the project:) Two international teams and three Chinese teams with each two persons are competing in the competition.

2008 Blankenberge 2008

On Monday the 16th of June I started in the sand for this project in Belgium. The two weeks before this sand project I made props out of foam to decorate this project in Blankenberge. This year the theme is Fairytale Castle and I'm making the village that lays between the castles and farmland. For this sculpture I used a particular perspective point from which everything seems to be totally vertical. Though from other angles the sculpture is quiet in a slope :)

I worked alone on this sculpture for two weeks.

I have used elements from other sculptures around me to blend in. These flowers for example are also used in a sculpture opposite of mine.

That's me in front of my leaning sculpture:)

On June the 30th I drive home again.
