Remember that sand can be compacted into sand stone with enough pressure and time. The physicists will tell you all about "interstitial bridges" and other terms that I do not fully understand, but as a master sand sculptor, I can tell you that all sand is not created equal -- sculptures made from sand with a higher silt/clay content, such as the material you find on the US Gulf Coast, will stand longer because the clay holds the moisture longer. To extend the life of the sculpture we spray the completed work with a solution of white glue (non-toxic, biodegradable), diluted about 5 to one with water, on the surface. This creates a thin, "hard candy shell" that holds in the moisture and helps stave off weather damage. The ones I've seen done are normally very highly compacted damp sand. They use various methods to compress it as tightly as possible so the individual grains have as much contact with each other as the artist can achieve. Even so, gravity will eventually win and they will fall apart.

How does quick sand form?
Quicksand is a form of fine sand that loses its supporting capacity and acquires the character of a liquid. It's usually found in hollows at the mouths of large rivers or along flat stretches of streams or beaches where pools of water become partially filled with sand and an underlying layer of stiff clay or other dense material prevents drainage. The sand body behaves like a fluid because water flowing through the sand forces individual grains apart and prevents them from settling. The sand then loses its firmness and cannot support a heavy weight. Some natural sands are in a condition so loose that such minor disturbances as those caused by a footstep may cause the structure to collapse.
