Rivers and Tides - Andy Goldsworthy

Beautiful documentary about my favorite artist, Andy Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy makes landscape sculpture from purely natural materials that are immediately at hand. He makes arches out of cracked ice, spirals out of cracked stones, and incredible sculptures from woven leaves. The results are simple and unpretentious but at the same time profound and painstakingly well crafted.
