Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor, renowned in his field, that creates temporary installations out of sticks and stones, and anything and everything else that he finds outside. The son of a mathematician, Goldsworthy grew up working on farms before eventually getting his BA from what is now the University of Central Lancashire. "A lot of my work is like picking potatoes," he told the Guardian. "You have to get into the rhythm of it."

Andy Goldsworthy,OBE (born 26 July 1956) is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist living in Scotland producing site-specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings. I was so inspired by his philosophy and work when I saw the 2001 documentary feature film about him called Rivers and Tides, directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer. I wish I could work out in nature like he does! Andy Goldsworthy Rowan Leaves and Hole Title Unknown Ice Ball Ice Spiral: Tree Soul The materials used in Andy Goldsworthy's art often include brightly-coloured flowers, icicles, leaves, mud, pinecones, snow, stone, twigs, and thorns. He has been quoted as saying, "I think it's incredibly brave to be working with flowers and leaves and petals. But I have to: I can't edit the materials I work with. For his ephemeral works, Goldsworthy often uses only his bare hands, teeth, and found tools to prepare and arrange the materials. Photography plays a crucial role in his art due to its often ephemeral and transient state. According to Goldsworthy, "Each work grows, stays, decays – integral parts of a cycle which the photograph shows at its heights, marking the moment when the work is most alive. There is an intensity about a work at its peak that I hope is expressed in the image. Process and decay are implicit."
