My daughter Nicole is studying Andy in School and she turned me on to him. I consider his work fascinating and wanted to share it on the blog. I watched his video and thought him a little eccentric but I don't know anyone who's not. Below is a piece about him from one a website.
Andy Goldsworthy is a brilliant British artist who collaborates with nature to make his creations. Besides England and Scotland, his work has been created at the North Pole, in Japan, the Australian Outback, and in the U.S.
Goldsworthy regards all his creations as transient, or ephemeral. He photographs each piece once right after he makes it. His goal is to understand nature by directly participating in nature as intimately as he can. He generally works with whatever comes to hand: twigs, leaves, stones, snow and ice, reeds and thorns.
