He comes across as very pragmatic and humble in the documentary, and doesn't stoop to articulating his motivations too much. I can see why people would ascribe a nature spiritualism to his work, but he mostly just seems to like making art out of found elements.pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012739552177578739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1135202558066024492005-12-21T16:02:00.000-06:002005-12-21T16:02:00.000-06:00Do any of you like the Andy Goldsworthy documentar...Do any of you like the Andy Goldsworthy documentary, Rivers and Tides? It is maybe the only documentary on an artist that I've seen 4 times. The patience he shows in creating his works makes me love this photo even more. The sheer ingenuity and time and frustration that go into a single photograph is mind-boggling.pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012739552177578739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1135191766828574592005-12-21T13:02:00.000-06:002005-12-21T13:02:00.000-06:00It is Treebeard holding a coded message for the ho...It is Treebeard holding a coded message for the hobbits between his gnarly legs...goeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781857563232791703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1135183259945773912005-12-21T10:40:00.000-06:002005-12-21T10:40:00.000-06:00I enjoy the Althouse blog for the same reasons too...I enjoy the Althouse blog for the same reasons too, Joan, although, I do tire of its pervasive heteronormativitwee.chuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1135181944380313502005-12-21T10:19:00.000-06:002005-12-21T10:19:00.000-06:00This post, and accompanying comment thread, are ex...This post, and accompanying comment thread, are <EM>exactly</EM> why Althouse is one of my first daily reads. <BR/><BR/>On the first day of winter, can't we all use a little bleak twee?
