Andy Goldsworthy

Site specific environmental art by Andy Goldsworthy. For the most part he uses no tools besides his hands and whatever surrounding natural materials he can find to painstakingly construct each piece. At the mercy of the elements, some works are gone within a matter of hours, collapsing and scattering on the wind or tide. Found via Rivers and Tides, a documentary on Andy’s process, which happens to be on demand on Netflix at the moment.

Here is a set of pictures I took of the Andy Goldsworthy documentary Rives and Tides. These pictures are part of an ongoing series of pictures taken of/from movies. It’s amazing what little gems appear when you slow things down to a standstill The images take on new meaning. — Jonathan
