VIDEO: Rivers & Tides, the work of Andy Goldsworthy

Inspiration from Andy Goldsworthy, Rivers and Tides 

In your sketchbooks take notes of the elements and principles of design at work.

The unique sculptor, Andy Goldsworthy (b. 1956, Cheshire, UK) works with ephemera to create visually spectacular, and structurally stunning Earth works.  

Due to the inherent nature of the materials he explores -- from icicles to poppy petals, and more, Goldsworthy's works often only exist for a very brief period of time.  

Following their creation, they are documented photographically and exist in this form after the materials have broken down and/or transformed into another state.
