Andy Goldsworthy





Andy goldsworthy is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist. He does land art in places that some land artists don't usually do land art. Most land artists that I've heard of do their pieces in a natural environment, but he does some prices in galleries. Although he does do pieces out in the outdoors. I just thought it was interesting how he did pieces in galleries. He lives and does much of his work in scotland. He does pieces that don't last very long and pieces that last a long time. Goldsworthy did much of his studies in the fine art at Bradford College of Art (1974–1975) and at Preston Polytechnic. He uses a lot of natural material such as twigs, rocks, leaves, ice, flowers, mud, pine cones, snow, and many more other things.


this is one of the pieces that he did it is made out of leaves. He made it out of different colored leaves and went from dark to lighter colors. At the center he left a hole and he has done many of these pieces. He uses Defferent colors it the leaves are all from the same tree. He really likes circles and I thinks it's because it's a shape that you can find naturally in nature.
