Featured Artist: Andy Goldsworthy

Andy Goldsworthy's work focuses on natural elements, using things like leaves, sticks, stones, snow, and other elements found in nature to create works of art that are often site-specific and incredibly temporary.



Goldsworthy works to not make a mark on the landscape in which he works but instead to incorporate his work so that it feels like a natural extension of its surroundings. He attempts to convey and enhance the power and energy he sees in nature.

Many of his works are temporary, existing only for a brief moment before collapsing or being worn away into the chaos or natural order that existed before.
