Book Reviews of Andy Goldsworthy: A Collaboration with Nature
Book Review: The gift we keep on giving
Summary: 5 Stars
We received A Collaboration with Nature as a wedding present and have savored it now for 16 years. Used it as inspiration for a project as an art docent in the schools and have given it over and over to accolades to friends who are "earth-linked" as well. Art, humor, appreciation, and over-the-top sensitivity ... this is a book to be truly cherished.
Summary of Andy Goldsworthy: A Collaboration with Nature
Using a seemingly endless range of natural materials, Goldsworthy creates sculpture in the open that manifests a sympathetic contact with the natural world. 120 full-color photographs.Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy uses a seemingly infinite array of purely natural materials, from snow and ice to leaves, stone, and twigs in the creation of his one-of-a-kind sculptures. Unlike such artists as Christo and Michael Hiezer, whose works leave definite marks on the landscape, Goldsworthy's approach is to interrupt, shape, or in some other way temporarily alter or work with nature to produce his fragile, mutable pieces. To create "Broken Icicle," for example, Goldsworthy was only able to work on the sculpture in the early morning, when temperatures were below freezing. As with most of his works, ultimately, the materials used to create this piece returned to their natural state, leaving no trace of the artwork's existence save for the stunning photos in this book.
