During class and the mention of Earth works one artist came to my mind in particular. Andy Goldsworthy. His pieces are sometimes smaller and other times on a larger scale but no matter what he uses the natural objects around him at the time in order to create his pieces. I'm not quite sure what type of artist to label Goldsworthy, a sculptor, photographer, I really haven't the slightest clue. My first introduction to this artist was in a photography class wher ewe had watched a video on him getting to see how he creates his peices by hand and with only what is in nature around him whether it be rocks, plants, streams, or oceans. Watching his creation process was just as interesting to me as the end results. He is obviously inspired by nature and has decided to use that inpiration to its maximum. Andy Goldsworthy builds his peice then photographs it in its finished form, after the peice is usually left to be destroyed by natural forces, blown down by wind or washed away be stream or ocean. He is an artist to look at in my opinion and can easily be googled online. What I like most about his pieces is that they are not huge like some earth works which shows that this media is something that just about all of us could do if we wanted to, and the sublte hints of life and death and journey that you can see in all his pieces. Though I'm still unsure of what type of artist Andy Goldsworthy would be considered I very much enjoy his work.
