Artist - Andy Goldsworthy

I know some of you saw "Artist" and stopped reading right there. I suppose that also means there's no possible way you will be reading this portion of the post in that case. Digressing from that poke at all the art haters out there; Andy Goldsworthy rocks the house. All of Goldsworthy's work is done out in the environment using natural items found in the environment. Normally I would write an artist like that off as some sort of granola, tree-hugging, Eugene-infesting nutcase who will be outputting nests made out of his own body hair in some old growth forest and trying to call it art : not so with Goldsworthy, his works are actually cool. For example, the picture in this post is made out of cherry tree leaves. Yep, awesome. Gloldsworthy also does some awesome work with ice, rocks, and other things people normally wouldn't associate with art.

Here are some different sites with works of art by Goldsworthy:

Site One - A random Goldsworthy gallery

Site Two - Simply a Google Image search for "Goldsworthy"

Site Three - This is a film about Goldsworthy; the entire film can be downloaded and viewed!

Site Four - A site about Goldsworthy's sculpture. They may look like boring arches at first, but look closely to see some awesome arches made out of snow and ice, and also see how the arches change at different times of day.

Site Five - The Wikipedia entry for Andy Goldsworthy
