Andy Goldsworthy

Ever since I first saw his works, I have been slightly obsessed with Andy Goldsworthy. There is a sense of calm energy that runs through so many of his pieces that is energizing yet soothing at the same time. After watching Rivers and Tides I feel in love with him even more. I just love his attitude and his perspective on things, the way he feels his way through his environments and the sort of lighthearted goodnatured spirit he seems to have…. So after this interesting week of anxiety and stress I decided a little dose of Andy was exactly what I needed!















Really enjoyed this video interview done by the Tate Gallery… I could really just listen to him talk forever...:






When watching Rivers and Tides, I remember gasping at this part of the video… but in a way I also remember it making me feel really good inside that "real" artists have this sort of thing happen to them as well! I also think what he mentions about taking his works to the very edge of collapse is really beautiful as well…
