Jim Denevan - outsize art


The largest artwork in history, with over 1,000 circles created by sand artist Jim Denevan, in Nevada, USA, 2009. Nine miles in circumference across the desert setting. Awesome achievement - larger than the lines in Nazca, Peru. The design is based on a mathematical theorem called an Apollonian Gasket and features triples of circles at tangents to others. Jim is also the founder and organizer of a worldwide moveable feast called Outstanding in the Field. His main site is here.
