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.

More quotes by 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
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
Design implies a sense of mapping something out and then you follow the plan.
Andy Goldsworthy
People are the nature of the city, and you can feel it in the pavement.
Andy Goldsworthy
The reason why the stone is red is its iron content, which is also why our blood is red.
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
I'm cautious about using fire. It can become theatrical. I am interested in the heat, not the flames.
Andy Goldsworthy
My art is an attempt to reach beyond the surface appearance. I want to see growth in wood, time in stone, nature in a city, and I do not mean its parks but a deeper understanding that a city is nature too-the ground upon which it is built, the stone with which it is made.
Andy Goldsworthy
I have to understand the nature of change. And I cannot just work with stone or the more permanent materials. I need to work with leaves and ice and snow and mud and clay and water and the rising tide and the wind and all these.
Andy Goldsworthy
I have worked with this red all over the world - in Japan, California, France, Britain, Australia - a vein running round the earth. It has taught me about the flow, energy and life that connects one place with another.
Andy Goldsworthy
I enjoy working in a quiet and subversive way.
Andy Goldsworthy
When I do the permanent projects or the big projects, when a work is finished, that's the beginning of its life.
Andy Goldsworthy
When I make a work, I often take it to the very edge of its collapse, and that's a very beautiful balance.
Andy Goldsworthy
Art for me is a form of nourishment. I need the land. I need it.
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
If I'm going to understand the land, I have to understand the wind, the snow, the rain, the leaves, the ice, and changes in temperature. It just reflects a reality for me.
Andy Goldsworthy
I take the opportunity each day offers.
Andy Goldsworthy
In contact with materials, I can see so much more with my hands than I can just with my eyes. I'm a participant, not a spectator. I see myself both as an object and a material, and the human presence is really important to the landscapes in which I work.
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
Time gives growth, it gives continuity and it gives change. And in the case of some sculptures, time gives a patina to them.
