Andy Goldsworthy’s River Ice Wrapped Around a River Stone, 1992

Nature is not just a subject for Andy Goldsworthy’s art, but it is also the material, the studio, and a gallery as well. As Goldsworthy experiences a particular setting, he determines what his artistic response will be, then uses materials at hand to fabricate his work. Take A Closer Look at the environmental artist’s use of natural materials and photography to reimagine sculpture.
