Calvin Seibert (BFA 1983 Fine Arts) has been building sandcastles for as long as he can remember, but it was only about three years ago that he started building them on Rockaway Beach, in Queens. After 10 years of working as a sculptor's assistant, he was recently unemployed—or at least underemployed, as he remains, intentionally, to date—and the round-trip bus fare from his rent-controlled Manhattan apartment to Jones Beach State Park, on Long Island, where he had built sandcastles since the mid-1980s, was now too expensive. Particularly if he was going to build sandcastles every day that wasn't too cold or rainy, which was and still is his plan.
