Goldworthy's work is derived from nature, where he uses organic, readily available materials to create his works. Most of his works are created outside, exposed to the elements of nature itself. He like to take advantage of whatever is available, whatever nature has to offer.
For "egg" (above) Goldsworthy used natural stone found in the surrounding area. Painstakingly stacking into piece into a geometric egg form. It's the ultimate test of balance and symmetry. Many of his pieces include geometric, and organic shapes.
It's hard to believe that his materials are found in nature. The piece above, is made from different colored stones which are placed by color to create a dramatic fading effect of light to dark.
"I think it's incredibly brave to be working with flowers and leaves and petals. But I have to: I can't edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole." -Andy Goldsworthy
