More quotes by Andy Goldsworthy

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
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
When I do the permanent projects or the big projects, when a work is finished, that's the beginning of its life.
Andy Goldsworthy
Complete control can be the death of a work.
Andy Goldsworthy
It's art that's taught me to think and to write.
Andy Goldsworthy
Beauty is what sustains things, although beauty is underwritten by pain and fear.
