Time

Time, always a crucial element in the work of Andy Goldsworthy - both as a medium and as a metaphor - is celebrated in this book, newly available in paperback. An introduction by the artist conveys the importance to him of time, change and place. A sequence of works made around his home in Scotland - often shown in series recording their gradual disappearance or transformation - is followed by Goldsworthy's diaries of visits to five locations in North America and Europe, vividly evoking, in text and pictures, the process of exploration and response to each place.With a detailed chronology by Dr Terry Friedman, this volume is an invaluable source of reference on Andy Goldsworthy and his compelling, sensitive work.
