Andy Goldsworthy


Andy Goldsworthy was a British sculptor and photographer, who lived in Scotland. His art was created by the things he found in nature that could be used to create a more enviornmental look. He incorperated flowers, leaves, mud, snow, thorns, ect. into his artwork. Builing these sculptures were not as easy as he made them out to be. Andy Goldsworthy used not only his hands to make these beautiful works of art, but also tools he found around and sometimes his teeth. When he was younger he worked on a farm at the age of 13 and used his farm tasks to get ideas for sculptures. For example, he used the repetition as inspiration. Goldsworthy used photography as a way to capture the artwork if it were to ever die.
