Rivers and Tides – Andy Goldsworthy



Andy has been working on an entirely new kind of sculpture experience, where he plays with different materials found in the nature itself. He puts leaves, stones, twigs, flowers together in a beautiful unusual manner such that it doesn’t hinder natures usual patterns. Like an installation, it adapts itself to the surroundings. Some remain as forms that start breeding life on it, and some get washed away by the natural course. The destruction of such sculptures , doesn’t take anything away from the nature, since they were built with the collectibles from the nature, and add tremendously to the beauty of nature in an unperturbed manner.
He’s fascinated by the river and its meandering nature and this resonates in all his sculptures, Ice structure, and Algae placement on the tree routes. Every art requires a form to play with. He chooses his forms as well from the nature itself.
Things are always lying around us. One only needs to familiarize themselves and become conscious of the fact that they’ve been blind to it so far. Nature has its own beautiful ways to blend in with us human beings, so should we.
