More quotes by Andy Goldsworthy
The early firings contained many stones.
Andy Goldsworthy
The difference between a theatre with and without an audience is enormous. There is a palpable, critical energy created by the presence of the audience.
Andy Goldsworthy
If you lay in the rain, every rain shower, storm, whatever, is different. Every surface is different.
Andy Goldsworthy
The main source of my income is through the commissions of the large-scale works and big sculptures, the projects.
Andy Goldsworthy
Everything has the energy of its making inside it.
Andy Goldsworthy
Three or four stones in one firing will all react differently. I try to achieve a balance between those that haven't progressed enough and those about to go too far.
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
The relationship between the public and the artist is complex and difficult to explain. There is a fine line between using this critical energy creatively and pandering to it.
Andy Goldsworthy
I'm not a performer, in that I don't like the public, but I work in that respect.
Andy Goldsworthy
I just see myself as an object in the final image. I know I'm experiencing it when I'm there working on it. I'm there to be worked with, as anything else that I work with.
Andy Goldsworthy
I enjoy working in a quiet and subversive way.
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
If I'm going to understand the land, I have to understand the wind, the snow, the rain, the leaves, the ice, and changes in temperature. It just reflects a reality for me.
Andy Goldsworthy
Understanding the materials I work with... gives me a deeper understanding of my place. And it's helped me make sense of the changes that are happening to me as I grow older.
Andy Goldsworthy
I can't edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole. I find nature as a whole disturbing. Nature can be harsh – difficult and brutal, as well as beautiful. You couldn't walk five minutes from here without coming across something that is dead or decaying.
Andy Goldsworthy
The British climate, although it is very wet, it is quite mild in winter. We don't get these severe - generally don't get severe winters.
Andy Goldsworthy
Nature, for me is raw and dangerous and difficult and beautiful and unnerving.
Andy Goldsworthy
People also leave presence in a place even when they are no longer there.
Andy Goldsworthy
I have to understand the nature of change. And I cannot just work with stone or the more permanent materials. I need to work with leaves and ice and snow and mud and clay and water and the rising tide and the wind and all these.
