Rivers & Tides :: Andy Goldsworthy

Here's something that I don't think a whole lot of people are familiar with... the works of Andy Goldsworthy. Andy Goldsworthy is a Scottish artist who makes sculptures in nature. The incredible thing about his work is that they only live in time, the sculptures are usually destroyed in a matter of hours by the tide, wind, or sun. The two subjects from which he draws his inspiration are the ocean and the river. Thus the name of his documentary, Rivers and Tides. It came on last night and it is unbelievable. Most of his sculptures consist or rocks, wood, leaves, and ice - he spends hours and hours on them only to watch the wind or the ocean tear to them pieces. It is really interesting to see him work and his sculptures are incredibly inspiring. Here is a clip from the documentary and some photographs of his work.
