“For me looking, touching, material, place and form are all inseparable from the resulting work. It is difficult to say where one stops and another begins. Place is found by walking, direction determined by weather and season. I take the opportunity each day offers: if it is snowing, I work in snow, at leaf-fall it will be leaves; a blown over tree becomes a source of twigs and branches.” Andy Goldsworthy- retrieved from

9. Andy Goldsworthy, (1980s) Ice Spiral Tree Soul Dumfriesshire Scotland

10. By Sam Bleckley posted on his blog May 31 2009 retrieved from
Andy Goldsworthy, out in the morning, the winter, and the wilderness, is working to the rhythm of the sun, though the it has not yet risen. He is alone, and has brought no tools. Beside him rests a pile of large icicles, and he is going to work.
Snapping, spitting, and re-freezing the ice at a pace just a bit faster than seems comfortable, he must finish his work before the day warms up, and his saliva will no longer freeze.
As the sun rises, he completes the work.
Hanging uncannily around the trunk of a tree, levitating over the snow, is a spiral of ice. It doesn't seem to touch the tree at all; but it grows from it. The spiral begins high on the trunk, the tip made from the most delicate icicle, and already a glinting layer of liquid water has formed as it melts. The ice loops around the trunk again and again, growing thicker and bolder, surging to several inches across by its end.
Before the day is done, it will have crashed to the ground. The photos, once developed, are breathtakingly beautiful. Goldsworthy calls the work 'Tree soul.’

11. Andy Goldsworthy, (December 1987) Snow Circles, Izumi-Mura Japan

12. "I enjoy the freedom of just using my hands and "found" tools--a sharp stone, the quill of a feather, thorns. I take the opportunities each day offers: if it is snowing, I work with snow, at leaf-fall it will be with leaves; a blown-over tree becomes a source of twigs and branches. I stop at a place or pick up a material because I feel that there is something to be discovered. Here is where I can learn.  -Andy Goldsworthy

13. Andy Goldsworthy, Driftwood Igloo

14. He creates an igloo out of driftwood collected from the beach
He creates an igloo out of driftwood collected from the beach. When the tide comes in, the wooden structure begins to float and then drift to the sea in a slow swirl. But Goldsworthy is not attached to his art: "It feels as if it's been taken off into another plane, another world . . . It doesn't feel at all like destruction.”- Andy Goldsworthy

22. Andy Goldsworthy, (2001) The Neuberger Cairn, Purchase New York

23. The project, Andy Goldsworthy: Three Cairns, is based upon his idea to connect the nation’s heartland with its East and West coasts. Cairns are symbolic stone constructs that identify a place, which may have societal or ritualistic importance like Stonehenge. Typically, the stones that constitute the cairn are held together solely by their own weight.

24. Andy Goldsworthy (1985) Carefully Broken Pebbles scratched white with another stone

25. Diary: 1st June

In the evening went to small
beach to work as the sun
went down - time the 
completion of work with 
sundown - broken stones
-cracked in two -not easy.
Scratched white around cracks
- made a sort of spiral which
suited this work - this is how 
forms such as spirals/circles/balls 
appear - out of the making and not
taken out there to be imposed
When I do that work is stiff

26. Andy Goldsworthy, Boulder wrapped in Poppy Petals

27. When I touch a rock, I am touching and working the space around it
When I touch a rock, I am touching and working the space around it. It is not independent of its surroundings, and the way it sits tells how it came to be there. – Andy Goldsworthy

Swindale Beck - garlic leaves - torn line - strange effects

Felt good to find
something so responsive

30. What does it mean to be Ephemeral?
Ephemeral means temporary. Andy Goldsworthy’s artwork lasts as long as the environment allows it.
