Environmental Artist, Andy Goldsworthy, "Rivers & Tides"
This film features
Andy Goldsworthy as he discusses his philosophies that drive him to do what he
does - primarily, to gain an understanding of the energy in nature and an
appreciation for the constant cycle involved. One of the artist's pieces melts
within several hours. We see another float off, while others are either
swallowed by the tide or by overgrowth. While there are moments of frustration,
Goldsworthy displays a remarkable understanding and philosophy regarding the way
that he gives his work back to nature, saying that the sea will make even more
of one particular piece.
