Artist Spotlight: Andy Goldsworthy Snow Sculptures

You may like these Snow sculptures.  These were from famous artist, Andy Goldsworthy, noted for his work with environmental land and installation.  He creates work from the processes of weather and land.  These photographs are from his winter pieces (1985).  The video is pretty good if you have a bit of time to watch - it is pretty interesting. xo M.
