Andy Goldsworthy | Horns and Boxes

April 3rd, 2009 : posted by matt

Andy Goldsworthy is an artist/sculpture/photographer who’s medium is nature itself. Leaves, mud, snow, twigs, trees and rock are all used to create both temporary and permanent sculptures which draw out the character of their environment.

I was lucky enough to see an exhibition of his in the late eighties, and recently came across a book containing images of some of the leaf sculptures he created, (unfortunately, now out of print). Below is another example of his work.
