Andy Goldsworthy
When I make a work, I often take it to the very edge of its collapse, and that's a very beautiful balance.
Andy Goldsworthy
The process of growth is obviously critical to my understanding of the land and myself. So the process is far more unpredictable with far more compromises with the day, the weather, the material.
Andy Goldsworthy
I can't edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole.
Andy Goldsworthy
There are occasions when I have moved boulders, but I'm reluctant to, especially ones that have been rooted in a place for many years.
Andy Goldsworthy
A stone is ingrained with geological and historical memories.
Andy Goldsworthy
Fire is the origin of stone.By working the stone with heat, I am returning it to its source.
Andy Goldsworthy
The main source of my income is through the commissions of the large-scale works and big sculptures, the projects.
Andy Goldsworthy
I am not a performer but occasionally I deliberately work in a public context. Some sculptures need the movement of people around them to work.
