More quotes by Andy Goldsworthy
Nature, for me is raw and dangerous and difficult and beautiful and unnerving.
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 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.

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

Andy Goldsworthy
If you repeat something, it can become pointless. Some things can repeat and be endlessly fascinating.
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
It takes between three and six hours to make each snowball, depending on snow quality. Wet snow is quick to work with but also quick to thaw, which can lead to a tense journey to the cold store.
Andy Goldsworthy
I'm not a performer, in that I don't like the public, but I work in that respect.
Andy Goldsworthy
The early firings contained many stones.
Andy Goldsworthy
Sometimes you need to stop doing something to really see it afresh.
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
A snowball is simple, direct and familiar to most of us. I use this simplicity as a container for feelings and ideas that function on many levels.
Andy Goldsworthy
The main source of my income is through the commissions of the large-scale works and big sculptures, the projects.
