Andy Goldsworthy: Projects

by Andy Goldsworthy

Andy Goldsworthy: Projects presents more than 40 of the artist’s recent large-scale sculptural work from around the world. Using local materials—including stone, clay, and wood—Goldsworthy’s projects are inspired by and interact with the natural landscape. Each project subjects Goldsworthy’s ideas about the work to the brute facts and forces of nature: sunlight, sedimentation, tides, erosion, extremes of heat and cold, and plant growth and decay. Situated mostly throughout Europe and the United States, Goldsworthy’s projects are as beautiful as they are thought-provoking. Each one is accompanied with notes by the artist, and many have not been published previously.
 
Andy Goldsworthy: Projects is a companion volume to Andy Goldsworthy: Ephemeral Works (2015).

Really cool projects out in the world with natural materials. How cool would it be to come across one of Andy's projects in the world? I loved the time progress of weathering of the projects and seeing them throughout the year in different seasons (covered in snow, leaves).

I have always admired Andy Goldsworthy 's work, and the way his works evolve over time. This book was such a great collection of projects, once again highlighting his skill at making art with nature.
