Sand Artist Creates More Incredible Maori Designs On Far North Beach

Maitai Bay was all but deserted on Monday evening, which perhaps was just what American earthscape artist Andres Amador and his collaborator, film-maker Jonathan Clark, were hoping for.

Andres, who attracted worldwide attention last week with a huge design on the sand at Piapia Beach (Whangaroa), continued his series of Lines Across the Earth at Maitai Bay, all part of the making of a documentary, Capturing Impermanence.

Andres and Jonathan (New Zealand-born but living in San Francisco) are in New Zealand looking for beaches that will serve as Andres' canvas. His first work at Piapia, designed by local ta moko artist Lloyd Morgan, has gone viral on the internet. His work at Maitai was smaller but no less impressive, and much admired by the handful of local people who watched him at work.

The next tide, of course, ensured the work's impermanence.
