If I had to describe my work in one word, that word would be time.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
The first snowball I froze was put in my mother's deep freeze when I was in my early 20s.

Image
When I do the permanent projects or the big projects, when a work is finished, that's the beginning of its life.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
It's art that's taught me to think and to write.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
Everything has the energy of its making inside it.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
Ideas must be put to the test. That's why we make things otherwise they would be no more than ideas. There is often a huge difference between an idea and its realization. I've had what I thought were great ideas that just didn't work.

Image
The hardened mass of liquid stones had much stronger qualities than those which had simply torn. The skin remained a recognisable part of the molten stone.

Image
The underlying tension of a lot of my art is to try and look through the surface appearance of things. Inevitably, one way of getting beneath the surface is to introduce a hole, a window into what lies below.

Image
My work comes first, reasons for it follow.

Even in winter an isolated patch of snow has a special quality.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
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
Image
I think that I'm always trying to get beyond the surface appearance of things, to go beyond what I can just see.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
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.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
I take the opportunity each day offers.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
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
Image
I can't edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
Not being able to touch is sometimes as interesting as being able to touch.

If you repeat something, it can become pointless. Some things can repeat and be endlessly fascinating.
