Rivers and Tides: Andy Goldsworthy Working with Time

I found this movie very interesting because of the way that Andy Goldsworthy creates his work.  As he said he creates his works out of things that will eventually be the same cause of its death. I thought it was great how he used things from nature so that once nature wanted to destroy it then it would be able to instead of using plastic or metal which would last for a long time.  He creates all of his work in nature using nature.  

 I thought the most interesting project of his that was shown in the film was the leaves that he pinned together and put in the river and then when it was moved by the water it twisted and turned almost as if it were a snake.

 I also found his sculpture with the ice sickles and the rock very interesting.  I thought it was fascinating how the light from the sunrise shone through it when he was finished even though that was not his intention.  I am intrigued as to how he got the ice sickles to stick together without using any kind of glue or any other kind of man made adhesive.

 Over all I thought most of his sculptures were very interesting even though sometimes trying to listen to him talk about his work was a little hard to follow.  Below are images of some other pieces of Goldsworthy's work that I find interesting.

He created this work by using warm colored leaves and laying them in a range of different colored orbits for each color.

He went around the city he lived in and collected dandelions and pulled off all of their stems and then floated them on a small puddle of water trapped in a hole in the rock face.

For this work he stacked a variety of large and small stones in this large egg shape in several different locations.  In the video it shows how much he struggled to get one just right as the tide near the sea was steadily creeping up behind him ready to wash his work away.

I thought this natural sculpture that he made was interesting especially when it floated away on the water and was swirling around almost like what a hurricane does when it is out at see spiraling in a circle.
