More quotes by Andy Goldsworthy
I enjoy working in a quiet and subversive way.
Andy Goldsworthy
I think that any sculpture is a response to its environment. It can be brought to life or put to sleep by the environment.
Andy Goldsworthy
It's art that's taught me to think and to write.
Andy Goldsworthy
Art is not a career - it's a life.
Andy Goldsworthy
We often forget that WE ARE NATURE. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we’ve lost our connection to ourselves.
Andy Goldsworthy
The main reason I went to digital was because I got time-lapse, video, and still images all in one camera. Having a minimal amount of gear is really important for someone who wants to walk around. That allowed me to have this flexibility to document things in different ways.
Andy Goldsworthy
Winter makes a bridge between one year and another and, in this case, one century and the next.
Andy Goldsworthy
My sculpture can last for days or a few seconds - what is important to me is the experience of making. I leave all my work outside and often return to watch it decay.
Andy Goldsworthy
I have worked with this red all over the world - in Japan, California, France, Britain, Australia - a vein running round the earth. It has taught me about the flow, energy and life that connects one place with another.
Andy Goldsworthy
The first snowball I froze was put in my mother's deep freeze when I was in my early 20s.
Andy Goldsworthy
I did tests on small stones before collecting and committing myself to the larger ones.
Andy Goldsworthy
Photography is a way of putting distance between myself and the work which sometimes helps me to see more clearly what it is that I have made.
Andy Goldsworthy
I have six acres in front of my own house, which I very rarely work on. Most of the work occurs on farmers' fields around me. And I like the discipline of working on other people's land.
Andy Goldsworthy
The reason why the stone is red is its iron content, which is also why our blood is red.
Andy Goldsworthy
We leave our presence in the pavement. We're walking over it, sitting on steps.
Andy Goldsworthy
I can't edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole.
Andy Goldsworthy
People are the nature of the city, and you can feel it in the pavement.
Andy Goldsworthy
Art for me is a form of nourishment. I need the land. I need it.
Andy Goldsworthy
If you lay in the rain, every rain shower, storm, whatever, is different. Every surface is different.
Andy Goldsworthy
There's a huge number of things that are occurring with the ice works which fascinate me enormously, but it's driven by this kind of frantic race against time. And whilst that creates a huge amount of tension and problems, it's a tension that I think I feed off.
Andy Goldsworthy
