Andy Goldsworthy




"My intention is not to improve on nature, I cannot do that"

Goldsworthy is maybe not... quite an eccentric (is this because he is labelled as an artist?), but his drive to be at one with nature is compelling. The impermanence of his work is testament and dedication to this, and I wonder if I too, should be so wrapped up in work that is durable. But, I'm not quite ready to pin leaves to tree trunks.

Could my own work have more interaction with the landscape it is feeding off? Exhibit a painting on the top of a hill?
