I’ve been seeing a lot of icicles lately, and they always remind me of Andy Goldsworthy. He’s a British artist who makes natural sculptures, putting together twigs, grass, leaves and rocks with nothing but his hands.
These are moments from “Rivers and Tides,” a 2001 documentary by Thomas Riedelsheimer that follows Goldsworthy as he works. The artist’s process seems like it would be incredibly frustrating (especially with frozen hands) but the delicately balanced results are amazing.
Andy Goldsworthy is just one of the landscape artists whose work is featured in our current exhibition, Close: A Journey in Scotland The Photography of Allan Pollok-Morris.
