Andy Goldsworthy - discussing my project and how his is relevent in my work!! :]

Goldsworthy works with land art and he was inspirational for my work with one of my books that im in the process of creating photographs will be added tomorrow :) .. The materials used in Andy Goldsworthy's art often include brightly-coloured flowers, icicles, leaves, mud, pinecones, snow, stone, twigs, and thorns.Im planting little flowers into my book and will have them spruting through the pages i began by carving into the book and gluing it all together i have still yet to make the slots for the flowers to grow out of and to add the mud and plant the seeds im interested in finding out weather they will actually bloom and grow or not?!  Goldsworthy has been quoted as saying, "I think it's incredibly brave to be working with flowers and leaves and petals. But I have to: I can't edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole.".


my project will have alot of man made materials used they will feature in both this book and the album book of momentums that remind me of growth and life through the generations :) ive started the measurements and the cutting for the second book also and just have to gather all my materials together and organise how i want it to be structured im excited about how the end product will turn out :) 


ive uploaded some pieces of work that i found inspirational by Goldsworthy below :] -

i love the colours used here and am contemplating whether or not to stick to the more basic take on this project by using green plants where i feel it would give it a more natural look or go for sometime more colourful. I'll be purchasing them sometime this week so will consider my options and what i think will suit my theme in this project and keep you updated :) 

ill be uploading Photos soon!!
