hiking performance art

Jim Denevan made the world’s largest freehand drawing a few weeks ago on a dry lake in Nevada. How big is it? Three mile across, which took 100 miles of walking to draw the pattern:

… The artist says: “My drawings are made totally freehand – large, then shrunk (if photographed).” “At low tide on wide beaches Jim searches the shore for a wave tossed stick.

The resulting sand drawing is made entirely freehand with no measuring aids whatsoever.” …
