Because his work is beautiful.
Because I like how he arranges nature.
Because it's just so darn cool!
Plus, I'm totally impressed by the man's incredible patience.
For example: to get the next image he laid down just as it started to rain and then waited for the rain to stop.
Just do yourself a favor and Google image search "Goldsworthy" and be impressed. He's all about his art ("touch") being transient, as the world is transient. But I for one am glad he takes pictures of it, because I find something incredibly beautiful in the simplicity, and I doubt I'll be visiting Scotland any time soon to see his work in person.
So anyway that's my post for the day. An I heart Andy Goldsworthy post. Feel enlightened, be impressed, drink chai, become someone.
(I seriously saw that last part as an ad campaign in a coffee house once my freshman year of college before chai really took off. "Drink Chai: Become Someone." I wanted to punch the stupid trifold in the face, but I didn't know which side the face was.)
Do you know how I can see his work? As it clearly cant be around for viewing for too long! Would I have to contact him or something?
