More quotes by Andy Goldsworthy

Andy Goldsworthy
The first snowball I froze was put in my mother's deep freeze when I was in my early 20s.

Time gives growth, it gives continuity and it gives change. And in the case of some sculptures, time gives a patina to them.
Andy Goldsworthy
Understanding the materials I work with... gives me a deeper understanding of my place. And it's helped me make sense of the changes that are happening to me as I grow older.
Andy Goldsworthy
Sometimes you need to stop doing something to really see it afresh.
Andy Goldsworthy
As you grow older you realize that art has an enormous effect. It's frightening sometimes to think of the effect that we can have.
Andy Goldsworthy
Occasionally I have come across a last patch of snow on top of a mountain in late May or June. There's something very powerful about finding snow in summer.
Andy Goldsworthy
Nature, for me is raw and dangerous and difficult and beautiful and unnerving.
Andy Goldsworthy
If you repeat something, it can become pointless. Some things can repeat and be endlessly fascinating.
Andy Goldsworthy
I have six acres in front of my own house, which I very rarely work on. Most of the work occurs on farmers' fields around me. And I like the discipline of working on other people's land.
