Andy Goldsworth: Environmental Art

Andy Goldsworthy’s environmental artwork is very motivating and inspiring. One think that I like about Goldsworthy’s attitude is that he never gives up when one of his ideas fail to work the first time he tries. In his documentary video, he is pilling several rocks of different sizes to create a sculpture pinecone on the shores of a lake. Even though the pilled rocks collapse every time Goldsworthy reached a certain level where they could have bear their weight, he continued trying and trying until he finally got what he wanted. The results are just extraordinary but impressive.
Some of the works that I like from him:

The art he makes are challenging but it helps people to understand and appreciate this world, our home, and everything. Before humans there was nothing but nature, and today we have filled it so many things that have ignored the how beautiful nature is. I hope more that more artists like Andy Goldsworthy emerge in the future so we can see more amazing sculptures in the future.
