Andy Goldsworthy

For my leaf transfer project I was inspired by Andy Goldsworthy's ephemeral sculptures. He too uses photographs to document his work. Their connection to place is as important as the art itself.
Goldsworthy works with nature as a state of constant change which is incredibly important to my Louisiana/Wisconsin project. Not only does that change make up the subject matter, but it also allows the art to be sensitive to weather and season changes. Bringing leaves to their unnatural environment forces a state of change that wouldn't ordinarily occur.
