I learned about the traditional Navajo sand art, commonly known as Sand Painting, from a Native co-worker during my own service in the US Air Force while I was stationed in New Mexico in the 1990's. After learning the basics of the traditional art form, I developed my own signature sand sculpture style, which literally builds up upon the traditional technique, and have had several consigned sculptures ordered for retirement and farewell gifts.
My signature Sand Sculptures consist completely of hundreds of layers of sand held together with a water/glue mix, which I brush onto wooden base, & each layer of sand thereafter. No moldings are used. The finalized sculpture is coated with a topcoat to ensure stability and adds another level of "sticking power" to the sand. While the sculpture should be handled with care, it is completely touchable, and will not fall apart under normal handling or display.
The sand is naturally colored, meaning no paint or dyes are used, and is either purchased from Scenic Sand or collected from my travels around the world. For example, White is from Florida's Gulf Coast, Black from Mexico's beaches, Yellow from the country Jordan, Reds & Browns from the Painted Desert in Utah, Pink from Bermuda's beaches, and Tans from Virginia Beach.
Unlike beach and mandala sand art, my sand sculptures are completely solid and sculpted to last. (I still own a few of my first sculptures, which have hung in my home for 20 years!) While they should be treated with the same care as a regular painting, dusty sand sculptures can be carefully cleaned with the soft brush of your vacuum cleaner.
Some portions of my sculptures can extend out a couple of inches from the board giving the piece quite a bit of dimension, but make this sort of work very time consuming as the glue mixture must be set before applying the next layer, and there are several hundred layers of sand composing each sculpture.
