Andy Goldsworthy

3. What is your interpretation of Andy Goldsworthy's work- do you like it? What do you think he is trying to say or accomplish with this work?

I think that Andy's work is honestly quite odd, but cool in a way. My interpretation is that he likes to do 3D live art, which is really unique. I like Andy's work because you don't see that very much. It's different from plain sculpture or painting. I think by working with nature so much he is trying to spread the word that nature is beautiful, and that we really need to protect it. If stop caring about nature, we won't have beautiful things like his sulptures to look at.


4. What inspiration for your own work can you gain from Mr.Goldsworthy's style, materials, work ethic, ideas?
Watching this film, I picked up from Mr. Goldsworthy that you can take different pieces of nature and put them all together to get the look that you want. It doesn't have to be there from the start, you can do soemthing yourself like how he used the stones full of iron to make some of the water red. I learned that you can enhance nature, it doesn't all have to be there tfrom the start. I also learned from him to do this kind of art out of passion and love for it. Even though his sculptures got ruined sometimes, he did it because he has a passion for it. He also isn't getting paid for making this art, but he does it because he loves it. It inspired me to take pictures just because I love it, not for a hope that i will become famous from it, or make any money off of it.


5. What specifically do you connect or NOT connect with his work?
I really connected with Andy's work because I also love working with nature. Many of my photo's are of things in nature. I, like him, appreciate the beauty in nature. I also really love his motives for doing this kind of art. I can connect with him and what he is trying to get across by doing this kind of art. I share a lot of the same views on the environment as he does, so it was easy for me to see why he would want to do sculptures like this in nature.
