Andy Goldsworthy has a great insight into the materiality of the landscape and the potential of the materials that it offers us. I am great admirer of him and his work. He too spent early childhood immersing himself in the rural landscape learning about the potential of its materials. As he says in the video its all about looking, learning & responding to the moment. The space he was inhabiting was a space full of dead trees which created waterfalls. If the waterfall had been created with stone he would not have been able to 'stick' branches into it and eventually create the beautiful suspended work he made. He calls it 'intuition' but I feel it is not only that but the great skill of observation and knowing what the materials might potentially do. He worked out that the branches needed had to have a 'kink' in them without that bend the piece would not have come together!
