More About This Event
Andy Goldsworthy
Internationally renowned as both a sculptor and environmentalist, Goldsworthy is best known for working with natural materials including clay, stones, reeds, branches, leaves, snow and ice. His work includes Storm King Wall – a permanent 2,278 feet wall overlooking Moodna Creek, New York, conceived in response to British agricultural tradition.
Join us for a profound and thought-provoking discussion exploring Goldworthy’s highly influential body of work and how it provokes us to interrogate our relationship with land.
