Goldsworthy uses his natural materials to explore his relationship to his environment in order to convey his idea, thereby urging the audience "under the surface of things". Earth artists use the tools and objects found in nature to carry out his thoughts and intentions. He incorporates the concepts of exercise, change, light, growth, and collapse into the "life line of nature". Sculpture, leaves of Nanakamado, caves provide insight into the natural beauty of fragile leaves, and the strong slope of the concept of growth and collapse.
In his 40 years of diverse career, Andy Goldsworthy has become one of the most excellent representative sculptors in our time. In photographs, sculptures, installations, movies, he records his quest for the impact of time, the relationship between humans and the natural environment, and the beauty of loss and regeneration. Goldsworthy 's permanent project and short - lived work are in stark contrast to scale, tension, and life cycle, but their response to the environment and constant investigation into his landscape are unified.
Goldsworthys sculpture reviews the creation, destruction and renewal process. Goldsworthy welcomes this cycle of destruction. Goldsworthys' work contains objects found. All materials used are natural and site specific. These materials are short-lived and their work depends on opportunity factors in the process of construction and destruction. The only material he uses is compatible, it will not threaten the area he works. Use simple creation methods such as nailing objects together, or stabbing vines. As these materials are carefully chosen, they will be decomposed by natural elements over time.
British artist Andy Goldsworthy follows the European land art trend and uses only the material found on the spot. Using materials such as stone, ice, leaves, driftwood, he eventually made sculptures destroyed by the weather and made it impossible to collect them. Not all land artists dramatically changed the land, but we use all the land as a canvas and nature as a purpose of art. Land artists like Robert Morris made art using bulldozers and tractors instead of using brushes. This custom later led to the creation of ecological art. And it studied the world ecological base as a support system for life and human beings tried to supplement the mistakes made in the environment. But if there is no land art movement, this group of artists will not show up.
