Hi! Was supposed to do the Goldsworthy review days ago but forgot, so its a bit late. We watched a movie last week about Andy Goldsworthy and his work. He is a sculptor and photograper who works mostly with elements of nature. I thought it was kind of silly that he was taking things that were already there and just moving them around a bit and calling it art; so I was very surprised to find that I liked his work. I don't mean to underestimate him, because he obviouly put a lot of thought into everything. And you have to admire the dedication of someone who will spend hours in the cold putting little pieces of ice together only to have it melt and fall apart later. Bottom line, I thought the artist came across as pretentious, but I don't know the guy and even if I did, it really doesn't matter what I thought of the artist. His work was simple and striking, and I liked it.
