Rivers and Tides : Andy Goldsworthy - Working with Time


# Screening of a documentary film : River and Tides  ( At : Department of English,  MKBU.)
# Directed by : Thomas Reidelsheimer
# Based on : Andy Goldsworthy - A British Sculptor. (Creates sculptures from natural materials.)

       " Art for me is a form of nourishment." 

    It is a wonderful documentary to watch. Which has a quality of Art.  Goldsworthy uses the stones,  twigs,  leaves,  plant stalks, clay, ice,  snow and etc in his sculptures. Most importantly he defines every art with philosophical approach. He explores the energy that is running through the landscape.

     " The Very thing that brought it to life,  will bring about its death. "  His art shows the meaning of 'Time'. The exact idea of Time. How time creates so many things which common can't observe. These all sculptures has the spiritual insight.



      He creates an Igloo out of driftwood collected from the beach.  When the tide comes in,  The wooden structure begins to float and then drift to the sea in a slow swirl.  But Goldsworth is not attached to his art : " It feels as if it's been taken off into another plane,  another world... It doesn't feel at all destruction. " It shows Art as a dying form. He thinks that the real art is merges into its own place. According to him all art is created by Nature and he has not any right to keep it as a treasure. Like Wind shifts and piece collapses.



       He talks about the impact of Sheep on the Scottish landscape, A chain of green leaves,  And red ore stones.


         Apart from these all things,  it has a great cinematography and music. Which one should take into consideration.

                                                     Thank you
