More quotes by Andy Goldsworthy
If I had to describe my work in one word, that word would be time.
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
Stones are checked every so often to see if any have split or at worst exploded. An explosion can leave debris in the elements so the firing has to be abandoned.
Andy Goldsworthy
I enjoy working in a quiet and subversive way.
Andy Goldsworthy
Generally in New York, people just walk over you with no problem about that. Other countries, people want to resuscitate you, like, after a bit.
Andy Goldsworthy
Art is not a career - it's a life.
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
If you repeat something, it can become pointless. Some things can repeat and be endlessly fascinating.
Andy Goldsworthy
