 Andy Goldsworthy: the beauty of creation
Sometimes Andy Goldsworthy soothes the anxious tension through filling it in: in the hole an object in the form of a spiral is coiling like a caterpillar in its cocoon, or a tree comes to protrude from it, or a rocky point is poking out of it.
It was not Andy Goldsworthy’s intention to evoke a birds nest, bur rather to realise around the hole in the roots of a knotty tree the concentric shape for which it seemed to ask.
To be more precise: Andy Goldsworthy belongs to the tradition of garden architecture: from the geometrical renaissance gardens, over the romantic English gardens, to the mystic pebble-gardens of the Japanese, or their modern counter-parts: the ecological landscape.

 Andy Goldsworthy
Andy’s sculpture is characterised by simplicity of form, in fact a few simple forms make up the bulk of his work — holes, cones, ovoids, balls, arches, nets, spires, and sinuous lines.
Andy has said that the sinuous lines are ‘snakelike’ but that they are not snakes, and that: “The form is shaped through a similar response to the environment.
Andy’s lines are very often made with his bare hands straight into the earth, indeed even when working with icicles in the cold of the predawn, Andy prefers to work without gloves.
