"The first stone was just tried in the spirit of experimentation. The opening of the stone was far more interesting than the drawing that I had done on it."

"Some of the snowballs have a kind of animal energy. Not just because of the materials inside them, but in the way that they appear caged, captured."

Energy

Quote_1.png
Andy Goldsworthy
"The difference between a theatre with and without an audience is enormous. There is a palpable, critical energy created by the presence of the audience."

Difference

Quote_1.png
Andy Goldsworthy
"The relationship between the public and the artist is complex and difficult to explain. There is a fine line between using this critical energy creatively and pandering to it."

Creativity

Quote_1.png
Andy Goldsworthy
"I have worked with this red all over the world - in Japan, California, France, Britain, Australia - a vein running round the earth. It has taught me about the flow, energy and life that connects one place with another."

Life

Andy Goldsworthy
"I am not a performer but occasionally I deliberately work in a public context. Some sculptures need the movement of people around them to work."

Art

"I have walked around the same streets so many times, and then seen a place that had been hidden to me. I now know the sites in a way that makes me think I could have made better use of the connections between place and snowball."

Now

Andy Goldsworthy
"The stones tear like flesh, rather than breaking. Although what happens is violent, it is a violence that is in stone. A tear is more unnerving than a break."

Art

Quote_1.png
Andy Goldsworthy
"My art is an attempt to reach beyond the surface appearance. I want to see growth in wood, time in stone, nature in a city, and I do not mean its parks but a deeper understanding that a city is nature too-the ground upon which it is built, the stone with which it is made."

Nature

Quote_1.png
Andy Goldsworthy
"As with all my work, whether it's a leaf on a rock or ice on a rock, I'm trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things. Working the surface of a stone is an attempt to understand the internal energy of the stone."
