Some of the snowballs have a kind of animal energy. Not just because of the materials inside them, but in the way that they appear caged, captured.
Andy GoldsworthyIf you lay in the rain, every rain shower, storm, whatever, is different. Every surface is different.
Andy GoldsworthyMovement, change, light, growth and decay are the lifeblood of nature, the energies that I I try to tap through my work. I need the shock of touch, the resistance of place, materials and weather, the earth as my source. Nature is in a state of change and that change is the key to understanding. I want my art to be sensitive and alert to changes in material, season and weather. Each work grows, stays, decays. Process and decay are implicit. Transience in my work reflects what I find in nature.
Andy GoldsworthyI go way beyond just the wood and stone but to the process of growth and farming and the tensions between the two.
