Goldsworthy was not really a big fan of being stuck in a visual-arts studio all day during college. He longed to be back outdoors where his roots were deeply planted. A truce was made between both worlds when he attended a presentation by Richard Long the father of land art. The presentation inspired Goldsworthy to trek to Morecambe Bay in Lancashire where stones on the shore made up his first natural project.
After college Goldsworthy continued to build his sculptures in the Scottish countryside very seldom seen by others. It wasnt until 1985 when Goldsworthy took on a project at the North Pole titled Touching North did the artist gain the worlds attention. The sculpture consisted of four enormous snow arches.
