Andy Goldsworthy
British, 1956
Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor, photographer, and environmental artist known for his site-specific installations and land art. He was born on July 26, 1956, in Cheshire, England.
Goldsworthy's work often involves natural materials, such as leaves, rocks, ice, and branches, which he uses to create sculptures that interact with the environment. His installations are often temporary and are designed to change and evolve over time, influenced by the natural forces around them.
One of Goldsworthy's most famous works is "Rain Shadows," a series of photographs that he created by lying on the ground during a rainstorm and allowing the raindrops to create patterns on his clothes. He has also created several large-scale installations, including "Stone River," a meandering line of stones that he laid in a river in the United States.
Goldsworthy has received numerous awards and honors for his work, including an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in 2000. His work has been featured in exhibitions around the world, and several documentaries have been made about his art and creative process.
