"RIVERS AND TIDES: ANDY GOLDSWORTHY WORKING WITH TIME"
Presented by: filmswelike
Hit film about Scottish environmental artist/sculptor Andy Goldsworthy
Using materials from nature, Scottish 'land' artist Goldsworthy allows the elements to have the last say in his beautiful creations, as his ingenious patterns of wood, leaves, stone and ice move and erode over time. He spends his days paying close, patient and almost relentlessly devoted attention to nature's mystical rhythms, structures and laws.
What takes this sacred regard into the realm of high art is what the artist creates: temporary structures made out of nature itself, which he then leaves for nature to reclaim or transform into something else. A finished work can last for as long as a few days or as short as a minute before a light breeze or an eddying tide picks it apart like a carrion.
Although some of his work, like a winding stone wall that he built at an art centre in New York State has longevity, most of Goldsworthy's projects are documented in photographs that are exhibited in galleries and published in very popular art books. "When I make a work," he explains, "I often take it to the very edge of its collapse. And that's a very beautiful balance."
