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
Generally in New York, people just walk over you with no problem about that. Other countries, people want to resuscitate you, like, after a bit.
Andy Goldsworthy
The reason why the stone is red is its iron content, which is also why our blood is red.
Andy Goldsworthy
Occasionally I have come across a last patch of snow on top of a mountain in late May or June. There's something very powerful about finding snow in summer.
Andy Goldsworthy
I take the opportunity each day offers.
Andy Goldsworthy
I did tests on small stones before collecting and committing myself to the larger ones.
Andy Goldsworthy
The essence of drawing is the line exploring space.
Andy Goldsworthy
Snow provokes responses that reach right back to childhood.
