M4 #4 Andy Goldsworthy

Andy Goldsworthy (born 26 July 1956) is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist producing site-specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings. He lives and works in Scotland.



This is really interesting to me because of its simplicity, but also because its so mesmerizing. Imagine stumbling upon this while your out of a hike. Would be pretty cool to look at! Land art seems to be the most basic form (not the least at all though) since all your tools and medium is just earth itself! Plus it gives you something to do beside sit at home and watch tv!!





Now i like this one here because it reminds me of a prehistoric fossil. It almost makes you question if this was natural or man made (obviously its man made) but at first glance and thought you can believe it was nature-made, or a fossil of some kind. This one looks a bit more difficult than the first photo, but its still art in a very simplistic, cheap form!
