An artist sees art everywhere, and Scottish sculptor Andy Goldsworthy creates it by arranging rocks, leaves, and sticks he finds in nature.
Goldsworthy uses leaves, sticks, stones and anything else he finds outside, to create stunning art installations that look almost as if they were formed naturally.
Almost every day, Goldsworthy creates art using the materials and conditions he encounters wherever he is, be it the land around his Scottish home, the mountain regions of France or Spain, or the sidewalks of New York City, Glasgow, or Rio de Janeiro.
Out of leaves, soil, rocks, ice, snow, rain, sunlight, and shadow, he creates works that exist shortly before they are changed and erased by natural processes. Yet, he documents them by photographing them.
He is intrigued with the ways in which we leave parts of ourselves behind, whether in our memory or in the things we make. Therefore, everything changes after being touched.
Take a look at some of his most impressive works:
