Andy Goldsworthy

Working alone, British sculptor Andy Goldsworthy collaborates with nature, creating sculptures that are both in and of a particular place. After spending time in a selected natural site, he collects materials from that landscape (leaves, stones, twigs, snow, mud), and creates a temporary sculptural arrangement (a line of colored leaves, a meandering wall of stone, a tower of snowballs, a circle of woven bamboo) then leaves the forces of nature to finish them—or finish them off. Before they disappear, or as they dissipate, he documents them in stunning color photographs. This exhibition revealed the full innovative range of this noted artist through 34 large-scale photographs that document a spectacular body of work created in the mountains and along the seacoast of Japan during the autumn and winter of 1987, as well as four sculptural works — two delicate leaf sculptures, a nine-foot line of colored river stones, and a monumental installation of sticks.
