More quotes by Andy Goldsworthy
I take the opportunity each day offers.
Andy Goldsworthy
Art for me is a form of nourishment. I need the land. I need it.
Andy Goldsworthy
Art is not a career - it's a life.
Andy Goldsworthy
I knew the tree when it grew, and the tree is now gone. The farmers cut it up, and it's become firewood. And there's this tremendous sense of absence and shock and violence attendant to that collapsing tree.
Andy Goldsworthy
Once the fired stone is out of the kiln, it is still possible to mentally reconstruct it in its original form.
Andy Goldsworthy
I think I have been fashioned by the fickle weather of Britain that it is - it's forever changing. There's no kind of constant sun or dry weather or freezing weather, and I'm always having to change and adapt to that.
Andy Goldsworthy
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.
Andy Goldsworthy
Even in winter an isolated patch of snow has a special quality.
Andy Goldsworthy
My work comes first, reasons for it follow.
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
My sculpture can last for days or a few seconds - what is important to me is the experience of making. I leave all my work outside and often return to watch it decay.
Andy Goldsworthy
Time gives growth, it gives continuity and it gives change. And in the case of some sculptures, time gives a patina to them.
Andy Goldsworthy
As with all my work, whether it's a leaf on a rock or ice on a rock, I'm trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things. Working the surface of a stone is an attempt to understand the internal energy of the stone.
Andy Goldsworthy
I have six acres in front of my own house, which I very rarely work on. Most of the work occurs on farmers' fields around me. And I like the discipline of working on other people's land.
Andy Goldsworthy
It's just that when I work on someone else's land, it makes me aware of the social nature of that landscape.
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
If I had to describe my work in one word, that word would be time.
Andy Goldsworthy
I can't edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole.
Andy Goldsworthy
Not being able to touch is sometimes as interesting as being able to touch.
Andy Goldsworthy
The photography is not the aim of the work the articulation of the work through photography is another way of understanding what's going on and what's happening outside.
