Andy Goldsworthy, A. (n. d. ). Andy Goldworthy [Portrait]. Retrieved from http: //www. morningearth. org/artistnaturalists/an_goldsworthy. html Andy Goldsworthy is known for making art out of nature. He says “I am no longer content simply to make objects; instead of placing works upon a stone, I am drawn to the stone itself. I want to explore the space within and around the stone through a touch that is a brief moment in its life” (Goldsworthy, 1994, p. 6).
