My art is an attempt to reach beyond the surface appearance. i want to see growth in wood, time in stone, nature in a city, and i do not mean its parks but a deeper understanding that a city is nature too-the ground upon which it is built, the stone with which it is made.

More From Andy Goldsworthy

Every thing thinks, but according to its complexity. if this is so, then stones also think...and this stone thinks only i stone, i stone, i stone. but perhaps it cannot even say i. it thinks: stone, stone, stone... god enjoys being all, as this stone enjoys being almost nothing, but since it knows no other way of being, it is pleased with its own way, eternally satisfied with itself.
Thinking Stones Way
All that syrio forel had taught her went racing through her head. swift as a deer. quiet as shadow. fear cuts deeper than swords. quick as a snake. calm as still water. fear cuts deeper than swords. strong as a bear. fierce as a wolverine. fear cuts deeper than swords. then man who fears losing has already lost. fear cuts deeper than swords. fear cuts deeper than swords. fear cuts deeper than swords.

As with all my work, whether it's a leaf on a rock or ice on a rock, i'm trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things. working the surface of a stone is an attempt to understand the internal energy of the stone.

I don't think i'm wrong when i say that the most beautiful objects of the "stone age" were made of skin, fabric, and especially wood. the "stone age" ought to be called the "wood age." how many african statues are made of stone, bone, or ivory? maybe one in a thousand! and prehistoric man had no more ivory at his disposal than african tribes. maybe even less. he must have had thousands of wooden fetishes, all gone now.

There is nothing so american as our national parks. the scenery and the wildlife are native. the fundamental idea behind the parks is native. it is, in brief, that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us. the parks stand as the outward symbal of the great human principle.

We think the fire eats the wood. we are wrong. the wood reaches out to the flame. the fire licks at what the wood harbors, and the wood gives itself away to that intimacy, the manner in which we and the world meet each new day.
