To Andy Goldsworthy, all the world's a museum, and much like Miley Cyrus...he can’t be tamed.

Hailing from Cheshire, England, Andy Goldsworthy is a small, button-nosed adventurer. He started working on farms when he was 13 and apparently parts of the agricultural lifestyle stuck with him, and certainly influences his work. As a young adult, Goldsworthy decided not to follow his father’s line of work, math (yawn), and attended Bradford College of Art instead. While all of his classmates worked in their cubicles, Goldsworthy worked at the beach, free from the suffocating indoors. The ultimate nature man, Goldsworthy mostly uses his just his hands and teeth!

He says about his art, “A lot of my work is like picking potatoes; you have to get into the rhythm of it.” Picking potatoes? Really? Whatever you say, Andy. But I guess we sort of get it. He is known for creating work from found leaves, twigs, branches and even ice- materials that cause the art to melt, break and fall apart over time due to the elements.

But Goldsworthy DGAFs. By not securing their form, he ensures the artworks have a life beyond being an Andy Goldsworthy sculpture. Nature takes them back and “makes it more than I could ever hope for,” says Goldsworthy.He says the point it is, “to know a leaf or a rock or a tree” and to expose the essence of it. Though many of his sculptures fail before they are even finished, he never gives up. Mother Nature’s ultimate mama’s boy.
