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.

More quotes by Andy Goldsworthy
The reason why the stone is red is its iron content, which is also why our blood is red.
Andy Goldsworthy
Ephemeral work made outside, for and about a day, lies at the core of my art and its making must be kept private.
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
Winter makes a bridge between one year and another and, in this case, one century and the next.
Andy Goldsworthy
Everything has the energy of its making inside it.
Andy Goldsworthy
A lot of my work is like picking potatoes you have to get into the rhythm of it. It is different than patience. It is not thinking. It is working with the rhythm.
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
Sometimes you need to stop doing something to really see it afresh.
Andy Goldsworthy
As you grow older you realize that art has an enormous effect. It's frightening sometimes to think of the effect that we can have.
Andy Goldsworthy
If you lay in the rain, every rain shower, storm, whatever, is different. Every surface is different.
Andy Goldsworthy
I take the opportunity each day offers.
Andy Goldsworthy
You must have something new in a landscape as well as something old, something that's dying and something that's being born.
Andy Goldsworthy
The things that I make are that which a person will make. They're not meant to mimic nature. They are nothing but the result of a hand of a person.
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
Confrontation is something that I accept as part of the project though not its purpose.
Andy Goldsworthy
The stones tear like flesh, rather than breaking. Although what happens is violent, it is a violence that is in stone. A tear is more unnerving than a break.
Andy Goldsworthy
If you repeat something, it can become pointless. Some things can repeat and be endlessly fascinating.
Andy Goldsworthy
One of the beauties of art is that it reflects an artist's entire life. What I've learned over the past 30 years is really beginning to inform what I make. I hope that process continues until I die.
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
Stones are checked every so often to see if any have split or at worst exploded. An explosion can leave debris in the elements so the firing has to be abandoned.
