Andy Goldsworthy creates art works made of and completely subject to nature. Whether they be sculptures from sticks, leaves, icicles, or stones, they are left in their environment until they naturally degrade. The majority of his work is preserved only with a photograph. They are temporary and unexpected. Anyone walking through the forest could run into a trail of red leaves spiraling around a tree trunk or traveling down a stream. The mysterious and temporary nature of his work creates a derive for anyone who happens to come across one of his creations. They are not only a jolt from the ordinary, but call into question our previous notions of the role of humanity in the wild.
