The Earth Art of Andy Goldsworthy continues to blow our mind. Andy doesn't use elements that aren't found in nature, and often time his work lasts only a few hours before naturally ceasing to exist. The temporary beauty of impermanent structures produced in and by nature is a concept that resonates. The question of 'is it worth it?' is often raised in conjunction with Goldsworthy's work and our response is yes!

The ice star pictured above is made from icicles and saliva. Andy mentions how he can't use gloves while working with ice because he can't control the ice correctly. We can only imagine how cold his fingers were after creating this piece of work.

The floating piece above combines palm leaves with berries for a stunning combination of colors. We love the idea of a water canvas that floats down the river.

The arrangement of leaves of different stages of life is stunning to look at. But beyond the visual beauty of Andy Goldsworthy's work we have a yogic sense of 'Be Here Now' which is what really draws us to Andy's work. We challenge you to think not about the end product and what you will have to show in life, but about the journey of getting there and how sometimes the impermanence of things is what makes them special.
