Andy Goldsworthy is a British environmental artist, photographer, and sculptor, famously known for creating site-specific land art and sculptures in urban settings and natural landscapes. The artist creates his sculptural pieces using materials like clay, stones, grass, twigs, and even snow, redefining the boundary between nature, architecture, and sculpture.
The majority of Andy’s early artworks borrow a leaf from the book of the fellow land artist and influence Robert Smithson. At first, his sculptures adopt an elegant, precise geometric form. However, they degrade due to natural effects, so drawings and photos of the sculptures preserve the original artworks.
Andy has created commissioned work at various museums, including the Storm King Art Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, and Tate Museum Liverpool.
