Andy Goldsworthy Handout

Andy Goldsworthy is by far one of my favorite artists. I love that he works with nature and his compositions are always so beautiful. It is unique that he was chosen to do this Holocaust piece. And that he can represent this historic occurance with natural materials. Reading through the description of it all, I think personally I would need an explanation of it or else it would just be a piece that I would pass by and think...Oh, thats fun. What a great concept, I love that the piece grows increasingly important with time, and its creepy to think of the things in the piece killing each other in representation...who thinks like that?!? But then again, I guess nature and human life in itself works that way, feeding off of each other. Hes amazing.
