Andy Goldsworthy Earth Art

Andy Goldsworthy is a British Sculptor, photographer and environmentalist. He was born in Cheshire, England where he worked on his family farm everyday as a laborer. He would turn his farm task into making sculptures out of nature. Andy felt that working on the farm was his motivation to do earth art. Earth art emerged in the United States in the late 1960s early 1970. Earth art is art of altering the natural environment around you to create earthworks. People use the landscape around them and raw materials to create magnificence forms of art. In this imagine of Goldsworthy earth art he bends back two trees and intertwines each individual branch until there linked together. I like this imagine because it creates a door or a tunnel along the path way. Once you cross through that circular hole you are in the thick brush of Mother Nature. Andy Goldsworthy knows how to create a work of art out of nothing.
