Always wanted to try this

I remember seeing this commercial a while ago (I think it was for Allstate or Geico) and it had this woman shaping things over and over again in sand on a lightbox. So I looked up some videos on youtube and found Ilana Yahav and her art

This is one of her many videos. Apparently, she does live performances where the camera focused on the light table displays it on a huge screen behind her for the crowd to see. I don't know how she can stand to keep forming and reforming. I would at least need to stop and observe the work for a bit before I moved onto the next step.

I've been tempted to throw together a make-shift light box specifically for this, but i doubt that my parents would appreciate

• me having sand in my room
• yet another thing crammed on my art desk
• the cats utilizing the box when no one is home

But we'll see. Maybe during some spare time up in Redmond. . . where there are no cats.
