Andrew Goldsworthy Part3

Goldsworthys first major accomplishment in the States was in 1997 when he created "The Storm King Wall" at The Storm King Arts Center in Mountainville, New York. It was a 2,0000 foot long wall made up of natural stone and without mortar that wound its way around trees and into a pond only to reappear on the opposite shore. This project paid homage to the original walls that were built in the same fashion by some of the earliest Europeans to settle in the region.
In the mid 90's Goldsworthy again borrowed from the past when he created "Sheepfolds" in northern England. The result was a number of drystone enclosures that replicated the ancient sheep enclosuress that were dominant in England during that areas reign as the center of the world trade.
Personally I am a big fan of Mr. Goldsworthy. I love to watch him work and to hear him talk about his work. It seems almost therapeutic to me. Almost like listening to a "Sounds of Nature" CD. He has found a way to kind of get back to where it all started by using the same materials that have been available for centuries and centuries.
