Jamie Wardley is the man behind Sand in Your Eye, a company that creates [works of art out of sand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artificial-sand) and ice for environmentally friendly companies. Jamie Wardley's works often take up massive sections of beach and require multiple teams working together to create. I can barely build a sand castle, which may be why I am so blown away by this epic sand art. Do yourself a favor and check out a few of Jamie Wardley's works in the gallery above. Sand will never look the same again. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-art:** The trend towards eco-art will create opportunities for artists to spread messages of environmentalism. - **Collaborative Art:** As more artists work collaboratively, businesses can be disrupted by artists whose talents compliment each other. - **Multipurpose Art:** Multipurpose art, such as art created from sand and ice, will create opportunities for artists to create attention-grabbing works that create awareness for environmental issues. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Environmentalism:** Environmental companies can use eco-art as a tool to raise awareness and promote their brand. - **Tourism:** Tourism industries can benefit from beach-side art installations that attract visitors to the area. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can incorporate sand art into their events as a unique and memorable attraction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Protest Sand Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bland-castles.md) - [Kinetic Artful Sand Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrakis-30.md) - [Interactive Marine Ecosystem Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures.md) - [Multi-Sensory Art Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcadia-earth-toronto-benjamin-von-wong.md) - [Climate-Awareness Soft Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamstones.md) - [Sustainable Kinetic Sand Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-sand-project-planet.md) - [Desert Planet Sci-Fi Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sands-of-tatooine-collection.md) - [Whimsical Artist-Inspired Soap Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soap-art.md)
