There are occasions when I have moved boulders, but I'm reluctant to, especially ones that have been rooted in a place for many years.

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
Complete control can be the death of a work.
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
Not being able to touch is sometimes as interesting as being able to touch.
Andy Goldsworthy
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
Art is not a career - it's a life.
Andy Goldsworthy
I can't edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole.
Andy Goldsworthy
I'm very fortunate to be able to do what I do and live the way I do.
