Andy Goldsworthy –

British Sculptor, Photographer and Environmentalist

IDENTITY PHASE

A WORK IN PROGRESS

Art that will not last forever but only a short time

ANDY GOLDSWORTH Y

Andy liked to use the landscape as his

material, showing its color, how it changes,

the energy, using natural materials.

Although he usually works in rural settings,

his definition of the natural world is wide

range. He says that nature is everywhere.

"Nature for me isn't the bit that stops in the

national parks," he says. "It's in a city, in a

gallery, in a building. It's everywhere we are."

Look at the sculptures. Do they have anything in common?Are they made from nature?

• What kinds of lines do you see?

• What materials were used to create these lines in each picture?

Right now we don’t have our school hallways and art room to display our art, but we do have our homes and outdoors!
