Andy Goldsworthy



My brother, Adam, suggested I check out Andy Goldsworthy's work to get inspiration for transient thesis ideas. Andy Goldsworthy is a British artist who creates site-specific sculpture and land art out of natural found objects. Almost all of his work is temporary which is what drew me to investigate his portfolio further.
According to Goldsworthy, "Each work grows, stays, decays – integral parts of a cycle which the photograph shows at its heights, marking the moment when the work is most alive. There is an intensity about a work at its peak that I hope is expressed in the image. Process and decay are implicit."

This life cycle is exactly what I'm trying to capture for my thesis project. Thesis imagery, etc. to come.
