A community portal about Andy Goldsworthy with blogs, videos, and photos.

Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor and photographer living in Scotland who produces site specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings.

His art involves the use of natural and found objects to create both temporary and permanent sculptures which draw out the character of their environment.

His materials often include twigs, thorns, stone, mud, snow, icicles, brightly coloured flowers, pinecones and leaves.

For his ephemeral works, Goldsworthy often uses only his bare hands, teeth, and found tools to prepare and arrange the materials; however, for his permanent sculptures like "Roof", "Stone River" and "Three Cairns", "Moonlit Path" and "Chalk Stones" he has also employed the use of machine tools.

Goldsworthy is a subject of a 2001 documentary feature film Rivers and Tides directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer.
