Andy Goldsworthy

Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist. Born in Cheshire, July 1956, he studied fine art at Bradford College of Art from 1974-1975. Now, he goes into various environments and creates art from what he sees within the environment. He doesn't bring in any other items to where he works, he only uses organic materials. These works are efermal, meaning they last for a short period of time, before rejoining there place in the environemt. Here are some examples of works Goldsworthy has completed in the past few years.

This is one of Andy's famous sculptures made from many rocks in the shape of an acorn. These have been made in many environments all over the world.

This was a sculpture made out of many icicles stuck together with water, wrapped around the tree, almost looking as if it's floating around the tree's trunk.

This piece was made in Scottland at the mouth of a river, before the tide started rising. Goldsworthy made this out of drift wood that was floating down the river. Once he had finished, and the water began to rise, it was slowly taken by the current and broke apart. Here is his website
