Macgirl Media Pick of the Week: Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers & Tides
Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers & Tides-Working with Time (2001) is a fascinating look behind the scenes with the artist working literally "in the field". He is a driven sculpture artist and photographer. He works with found items to create spectacular moments in time, which he then captures on film, and has produced lively and surprising images which he then publishes in wonderful art/coffee books.
His wiki entry is a great resource is you aren't familiar with his work.
This documentary, directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer, offers an incredibly intimate look at Goldsworth's methods and home life, including long periods of time spent with him in his adopted home town in Scotland.
The well-captured images of the beautiful land and water relaxes and invigorates...I was ready to run outside and start my own natural sculpture as soon as the movie (and all of the extras) was finished.
