Editorial Review:
Product Description: For British artist Andy Goldsworthy, wood evokes ideas for growth, perpetual change, and transformation. In Wood, he works with leaves, bark, branches, ice, boulders, and sand. The artist's photographs, superbly reproduced here, capture the moment at which each work came alive for him--through a particular quality of light, a precise stage in melting, or the blowing of the wind. 150 color photos.

This book just makes you want to go out into nature and create a masterpiece. As a gardener and sculptor I find the photos of his work inspiring and will definitely be attempting to create my own version of environmental art.

I wish all of the pictures took up the entire page but many are small. The art itself is flawless.

All the books featuring the works of Goldsworthy are stunning. His work is unexpected and a joy to anyone who loves nature.

It's a big and invigorating book. If you like earth art this book (and there are others) offers some of the best of Goldsworthy. The concepts and execution are as inventive as they are cerebral. While I've never seen his work in person the photos and narrative of this book really feel like they capture the detail. In other ways the book itself is as well presented and printed as any book of art I've seen. If you can't afford it (it was expensive for me) try and get your local library to invest. ... Read More

Goldsworthy's art isn't what he makes. It's what he does to things that are already there to make them fresh and beautiful to the jaded eye of an average human. Simple things work best in his art, evoke more raw emotion and longing: he lines tree branches with dandelions and red maple leaves; he hangs large snowballs in trees; ribbons of leaves trail off into the water and spiral icicles circle tree trunks. It's all so simple and captivating, it's really quite astounding. Goldsworthy's art is fleeting. ... Read More
