He knows that nothing can or should last forever…Once a piece has been illuminated by the perfect light or been borne away by the serendipitous wave, he great-fully bids it a fond farewell—Andy Goldsworthy From the Ancient to the Modern

13 “Fallen Fossil” "Fallen Fossil came after regular visits to the Museum of Natural History, where I was attracted by some fossils embedded in the matrix stone, punctuating the rough broken quality of the stone…In terms of the future -- for me it was the experience of working collaboratively, this wealth of material, this wealth of space - a contrast to perennially under- resourced, over-crowded art schools. Stone has such a very strong feeling of permanence, of geological time." (Stephen Marsden) Stephen Marsden http://learningstone.org/ff.html
