More quotes by 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
Beauty is what sustains things, although beauty is underwritten by pain and fear.
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
Not being able to touch is sometimes as interesting as being able to touch.
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
The essence of drawing is the line exploring space.
Andy Goldsworthy
It's art that's taught me to think and to write.
Andy Goldsworthy
A stone is ingrained with geological and historical memories.
Andy Goldsworthy
I enjoy working in a quiet and subversive way.
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
The first snowball I froze was put in my mother's deep freeze when I was in my early 20s.
Andy Goldsworthy
I'm cautious about using fire. It can become theatrical. I am interested in the heat, not the flames.
Andy Goldsworthy
My work comes first, reasons for it follow.
Andy Goldsworthy
The main source of my income is through the commissions of the large-scale works and big sculptures, the projects.
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 very fortunate to be able to do what I do and live the way I do.
Andy Goldsworthy
Ideas must be put to the test. That's why we make things otherwise they would be no more than ideas. There is often a huge difference between an idea and its realization. I've had what I thought were great ideas that just didn't work.
Andy Goldsworthy
I take the opportunity each day offers.
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
People also leave presence in a place even when they are no longer there.
