"My sculpture can last for days or a few seconds -- what is important to me is the experience of making."
~ Andy Goldsworthy (link: Artnet page)
"One of the beauties of art is that it reflects an artist's entire life. What I've learned over the past 30 years is really beginning to inform what I make. I hope that process continues until I die."
~ Andy Goldsworthy (link: profile in Smithsonian magazine, 2005)
"[Andy] Goldsworthy basically embraces the traditional goal of art -- that is, he wants to add interesting objects to the world."
~ Deborah Solomon, "Stone Diarist" (New York Times, Sunday Magazine, 16 May 2004)

you have to love a man who makes sculptures with ice, using his urine as glue.
These contemporary art-stars do love their bodily fluids, huh?
I'm struck by the sheer patience involved in his work. Now that leaves are starting to change, I thought I'd do some kind of Goldsworthy homage on one of my afternoon walks... but I soon realized that the process of gathering & arranging could easily become an all-day affair.
More power to him, though. Seeing his work has brought a new level of awareness to the time I spend walking through the woods.
