Lonely Bay
The Google map, left, shows the proximity
Cooks Beach and Lonely Bay. The Cooks Beach
mandala boasts a geometric design – can you
see the illusion of the 3-dimensional cube?
Below, Lonely Bay, located south east of
Shakespeare Cliff, is adorned with a random
interwoven glyph pattern covering the entire length
of its sandy expanse.
Internally, the act of making the art is a zen experience. I become
extremely focused and most all else falls away.
My whole body is engaged – all my senses as well, appreciating the
experience as the experience is happening.
– Andres Amador
