Image
I love the winter. Well, I love all the seasons, but the winter is possibly one of the most intense.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
I take the opportunity each day offers.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
When I do the permanent projects or the big projects, when a work is finished, that's the beginning of its life.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I'm cautious about using fire. It can become theatrical. I am interested in the heat, not the flames.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
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
Image
If I had to describe my work in one word, that word would be time.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
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.

Image
People also leave presence in a place even when they are no longer there.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
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
Image
I just see myself as an object in the final image. I know I'm experiencing it when I'm there working on it. I'm there to be worked with, as anything else that I work with.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
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
Image
Everything has the energy of its making inside it.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I'm very fortunate to be able to do what I do and live the way I do.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
Sometimes you need to stop doing something to really see it afresh.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
We leave our presence in the pavement. We're walking over it, sitting on steps.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
The reason why the stone is red is its iron content, which is also why our blood is red.
