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.

More quotes by 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
People are the nature of the city, and you can feel it in the pavement.
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
There are occasions when I have moved boulders, but I'm reluctant to, especially ones that have been rooted in a place for many years.
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.
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
Once the fired stone is out of the kiln, it is still possible to mentally reconstruct it in its original form.
Andy Goldsworthy
We leave our presence in the pavement. We're walking over it, sitting on steps.
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 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
I'm very fortunate to be able to do what I do and live the way I do.
Andy Goldsworthy
The reason why the stone is red is its iron content, which is also why our blood is red.
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
There is life in a stone. Any stone that sits in a field or lies on a beach takes on the memory of that place. You can feel that stones have witnessed so many things.
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
Art is not a career - it's a life.
Andy Goldsworthy
It's art that's taught me to think and to write.
Andy Goldsworthy
Everything has the energy of its making inside it.
Andy Goldsworthy
I see my work plagiarized in gardening programmes and decorating programmes and car adverts, and I suppose I have to accept that's just the way art gets assimilated into culture.
Andy Goldsworthy
I did tests on small stones before collecting and committing myself to the larger ones.
