Andy Goldsworthy

Andy is a British artist that primarily works on site and with that site's natural contents (e.g; leaves, twigs, ice, rock, petals etc.). His work makes me think about depth, form and documenting a space. I absolutely love his work and his philosophy of not leaving 'his mark' on the land, but working with the land. His work may seem temporary, what with the elements inevitably taking hold, however it is actually being reclaimed by the land once more. 

''Fourteen years ago I made a line of stones in Morecambe Bay. It is still there, buried under the sand, unseen. All my work still exists in some form.''
