People do not realise that many of my works are done in urban places. I was brought up on the edge of Leeds, five miles from the city centre-on one side were fields and on the other, the city.
Andy GoldsworthyWhen Iโm working with materials itโs not just the leaf or the stone, itโs the processes that are behind them that are important. Thatโs what Iโm trying to understand, not a single isolated object but nature as a whole.

And I want to understand that. But the big tension of the ice works is that they're often made when it's cold enough to freeze one piece of ice to another.
