More quotes by Andy Goldsworthy
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.
Andy Goldsworthy
If I had to describe my work in one word, that word would be time.
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 did tests on small stones before collecting and committing myself to the larger ones.
Andy Goldsworthy
People do not realise that many of my works are done in urban places. I was brought up on the edge of Leeds, five miles from the city centre-on one side were fields and on the other, the city.
Andy Goldsworthy
Photography is a way of putting distance between myself and the work which sometimes helps me to see more clearly what it is that I have made.
Andy Goldsworthy
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.
Andy Goldsworthy
I'm very fortunate to be able to do what I do and live the way I do.
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 lay in the rain, every rain shower, storm, whatever, is different. Every surface is different.
Andy Goldsworthy
Even in winter an isolated patch of snow has a special quality.
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
Nature, for me is raw and dangerous and difficult and beautiful and unnerving.
Andy Goldsworthy
Confrontation is something that I accept as part of the project though not its purpose.
Andy Goldsworthy
Design implies a sense of mapping something out and then you follow the plan.
Andy Goldsworthy
I love the winter. Well, I love all the seasons, but the winter is possibly one of the most intense.
Andy Goldsworthy
It's frightening and unnerving to watch a stone melt.
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 want to get under the surface. When I work with a leaf, rock, stick, it is not just that material in itself, it is an opening into the processes of life within and around it. When I leave it, these processes continue.
Andy Goldsworthy
Everything has the energy of its making inside it.
Andy Goldsworthy
