Found objects and driftwood on the beach + creativity = Beach Art
Take a stroll several hundred yards east of the Mattituck inlet and discover a magical installation of driftwood that evokes images of creatures and humans in skewed proportions, whimsical and animated. The centerpiece is a driftwood enclosure. Inside one finds a place to sit and is welcomed to sign a guest book and leave any thoughts that you wish to. It is unlike anything I've seen before and instantly put a smile on my face. Reportedly one very uptight neighbor abhors it but I doubt his sense of fun or vision. I read the comments to discover he is the only one who feels that way.

In the comment you left on my page, you mentioned 'zebra grass'. I'm gonna have to look that one up, but won't you show us a picture of it?
I think it is totally cool. Not enough whimsy in the world.
Looks pretty cool to me. I'll bet the young and the young at heart have a lot of fun with it.
A very human impulse that birthed art, theatre, and worship.
The flotsam that bumps against my kayak are Tiki's, nature gods, little friends . . . here in Waikiki.
Enjoyed visiting your "temple."

Love the beach art and other pics on your page. You've given us the next big idea for next year's rendezvous at Montana's finest sandy beach.
So original and what a beautiful colour that driftwood is - bleached by the sun and washed by the sea - how could anyone not enjoy it.
Great shots. I would love to visit this installation....
Beautiful idear. Root structures, and so much imagination. I also collect such roots and my friend makes jewelry so ;-)roots art.
Great beach art. Hope the uptight neighbour moves or chills out
So beautiful spot in the beach. MABUHAY! [Philippine greeting]
Great stuff, right out of Survivor..
Mark: That is an amazing enclosure, really an artful place.
What a most interesting place to see! Good of you to bring the camera so the rest of us could catch a glimpse of this artistic thing.
These are totally awesome and I have never seen anything like these!
what a funny, interesting place...(how do they keep the visitors book dry)?
Imagination at its best!
What a strange sight to behold! Thanks for sharing your pictures.
An incredible place. How the wood speaks to us!
I also smiled as I scrolled down through the photos. Unique!
Very interesting art work!
