Noteworthy Artist: ANDY GOLDSWORTHY




 Recently we watched a film in our Design Visualization class and I have been meaning to post about it for a while. It was about a particular artist named Andy Goldsworthy. His work focuses mainly on natural elements such as ice, water, fire, rock, etc. The most inspiring thing about him though, is that 98% of his work exists only in photograph.


 












I find it so incredible, the level of dedication and determination that he puts into each and every piece. He spends hours and hours on a beautiful work of art that disappears almost as quickly as it was created.

I love that he combines natural elements together, finding pieces of the most particular details to compile into his final work. He not only pays attention to the way something looks but to how the environment around it will react to it. He counts on the changing of nature to even further beautify his pieces.
