With limitless patience, Andy Goldsworthy knots together hundreds of stems to form a filigree net that might be destroyed by a single strong gust of wind His art abides by the concept of ephemeral change; “Movement, change, light, growth and decay are the lifeblood of nature, the energies that I try to tap through my work,” he states. His work is incredibly fragile and intentionally temporary, holding space in a timeless fashion only sometimes to be destroyed within moments by the natural causes that had once helped to shape it. “Lake District” from the series Screens, 1998

Land art, variously known as Earth art, environmental art, and Earthworks, is an art movement that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, largely associated with Great Britain and the United States but also includes examples from many countries. As a trend, "land art" expanded boundaries of art by the materials used and the siting of the works. The materials used were often the materials of the Earth, including the soil, rocks, vegetation, and water found on-site, and the sites of the works were often distant from population centers. Though sometimes fairly inaccessible, photo documentation was commonly brought back to the urban art gallery. Andy Goldsworthy is a British artist known for his site-specific installations involving natural materials and the passage of time. Working as both sculptor and photographer, Goldsworthy crafts his installations out of rocks, ice, leaves, or branches, cognizant that the landscape will change, then carefully documents the ephemeral collaborations with nature through photography. “It's not about art,” he has explained. “It's just about life and the need to understand that a lot of things in life do not last.” Born on July 29, 1956 in Cheshire, United Kingdom, the artist spent his teenage years working as a farm labourer in rural England before going on to study art at Bradford College of Art and later Preston Polytechnic. In 1985, the artist moved to Scotland where he began producing work inspired by Robert Smithson and other Land Art practitioners from the 1960s and 1970s. Over the following decades, he became associated with the Environmental Art movement alongside Richard Long and Chris Drury. In 2001, Thomas Riedelsheimer’s documentary film Rivers and Tides: Andy Goldsworthy Working with Time was released, showing the artist at work in nature and his process beforehand. A follow-up documentary, Leaning Into the Wind, was released in 2018. Goldsworthy's works are held in the collections of the Court auld Institute of Art in London, the Storm King Art Centre in Mountainville, NY, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., among others. The artist currently lives and works in Dumfriesshire, United Kingdom
