THE ZERO FOOTPRINT ART OF ANDY GOLDSWORTHY

Andy Goldsworthy's is best known for his site-specific sculptures that use found art materials.

"I think the very best works are the ones that could only have been made
in one place at that moment and could never be repeated."
--ANDY GOLDSWORTHY, SMITHSONIAN, FEBRUARY 1997

Andy Goldsworthy carves, melts, or otherwise shapes various natural elements into impressive, often ephemeral works of art located around the globe in what is known as "land art." The British visionary uses snow, stone, wood, water, mud, flower petals, and sometimes even his own saliva to construct his works, which have ranged from frozen arches at the North Pole to a seven-foot-long chain of red poppy petals. "A latter-day Impressionist," declared Arthur Lubow in Smithsonian. "Like those 19th-century painters, he is obsessed with the way sunlight falls and flickers, especially on stone, water and leaves." "Nature for me isn't the bit that stops in the national parks," Goldsworthy remarked to Lubow. "It's in a city, in a gallery, in a building. It's everywhere we are."
