Laurence and Victoria introduced me to an artist named Andy Goldsworthy and lent me a DVD about his work.
He uses nature as his medium and almost always the piece is exhibited in nature. He is very influenced by the surroundings of his home in Scotland and the force and energy of the river.
Often or almost always, the art is intended to mutate as nature exacts its cycle.
A string a leaves set free in a river is bent and curls and dances.
A stone cairn is weathered by rain, snow and sun.
The pieces are incredibly unique and beautiful.
Here is a clip from the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TWBSMc47bw
