Time, always a crucial element in the work of Andy Goldsworthy both as a medium and as a metaphor is celebrated in this book, newly available in paperback. An introduction by the artist conveys the importance to him of time, change and place. A sequence of works made around his home in Scotland often shown in series recording their gradual disappearance or transformation is followed by Goldsworthy's diaries of visits to five locations in North America and Europe, vividly evoking, in text and pictures, the process of exploration and response to each place. With a detailed chronology by Dr Terry Friedman, this volume is an invaluable source of reference on Andy Goldsworthy and his compelling, sensitive work.
