What can I say about this documentary chronicling a short span in of landscape artist Andy Goldsworthy's life, apart from: 'Watch it?' An homage to the artist. Not just Goldworthy , mind you. Somehow the piece transcends the individual and his work, which is stunning of course, and becomes a more general portrait of the Artist per se. Goldsworthy's bleeding hands are a testament to artistic obsession;...

I am only weeks out from a life-changing trip to Rwanda. This is a country where 5% of the population is on the grid for electricity. A place where the gift of ball point pens are received like deposits of pure gold. I tried to explain everywhere I went that I am an artist, but this word received little to no recognition. Even toting my books via motorbike over vast kilometers of dark red dirt and...

About 15 years ago I was flipping through some photo books in a small book store in Philadelphia when I saw a photo that stopped me in my tracks. It was a gorgeous sculpture made of stream stones built out in a wooded area of Scotland, the artist/photographer,genius who made this piece was a man named . In the following years I kept an eye on him, bought some books of photos of his work, and marvelled...

http://video.google.com/videoplay'docid=-8480463057406057702 After this week’s Eye Candy post, I’ve decided to go ahead and embed Andy Goldsworthy ’s Rivers and Tides in it's entirety. Really, the quality is pretty poor - you should rent/buy/borrow/download a copy of the documentary and watch it, preferably on a big screen. But this will give you an idea - and probably encourage many of you to find...

For starters, I think that Andy Goldsworthy ’s work is more than simple ‘ eye candy ‘ - but when I was thinking about some ‘green’ art for MNP’s Earth Day posting this week I couldn't help but put some of this ninjas incredible work up [thanks to bmack for bringing Goldsworthy up]. For any of you who haven't seen it, Rivers and Tides is a documentary about Goldsworthy and his work with nature, showcasing...

It's 75 degrees outside. Two nights ago it froze. It's hot enough that it's gone from blissfully spring-like to mildly unpleasant in far less time than I can handle emotionally or wardrobelly. Yes, that is a word. News from the Lohman-Pritchard residence (I get first billing, alphabetically! Nyah.) 1: We are going to see Andy Goldsworthy tonight 2: We have lots of daffodils 3: R has successfully made...
