About Andy Goldsworthy

         I really like Andy Goldsworthy because he seems to be inspired by nature, and

the way the world handles all the abuse we put here threw. His work also shows that

nature is not something to be messed with. I also like to see where he gets his inspiration

from, like when he saw whirlpool he observed it and built a replica of it out of wood. His

words towards “like giving a gift back to the sea”. One last thing I like about

Andy Goldsworthy is he has sympathy for all living things and animals and believes that

nature is a beautiful thing.

         I like his work because it has meaning, whether or not you can see it, it does. Like

when he built the seed out of rocks on the beach it may not have meaning to you or me

but it did to him. Also he gets his inspiration from nature, which not a lot of people can

do. But don’t think his work is without struggle. He has struggled many times. Along the

way he tries and fails on a lot of things. One example of this is when he built a circle

surrounded by sticks that were held together by thorns. It was almost finished

but it fell down. And don’t forget the seed he tried for times before he got it even got

close to being finished to it. That shows me that he has struggled, but it also shows me

that he enjoys his work a lot. Personally I wood probably not have the patience to do what

he does. Lastly I like how he finds beauty in the very simple things, and he finds it in the

places that most people wouldn’t dream of.
