Andy Goldsworthy: Ephemeral Works: 2004-2014

"Andy Goldsworthy creates art from the materials he finds in nature. His sculptures are made from ice sheets, tree branches, snow, clay and rock — he uses leaves like paint. Much of his art is meant to be ephemeral, to decay and degrade with the elements, to exist in a moment. Fortunately, Goldsworthy also photographs this work for us to enjoy and has collected 10 years of his temporary art in this beautiful coffee table book. Plus, if you’ve ever had the urge to just lie down outside in the rain, Goldsworthy’s rain shadow photographs provide you an excuse — you’re making art. Another book documenting his more permanent works is due out in spring 2017."
