He also likes to use locations, often remote, that have meaning for him. Author image: Bride of Frankenstein via Flickr. Andy Goldsworthy’s environmental art isn’t always meant to last forever, but they’re preserved in his many books. His works can also be found in private collections and on public lands. He has also created some commissioned works including one piece for San Francisco’s De Young Museum, meant to symbolize effects earthquakes have on the landscape. There are some works he created to be long lasting, and Goldsworthy’s pieces have found themselves in museums and gallery exhibits worldwide. To make sure there is a permanent record of each piece, Goldsworthy photographs all his work during and after its completion, especially since he often deliberately chooses materials that are not meant to last long-term. He later formally studied fine art at Bradford College of Art and at Preston Polytechnic (now called the University of Central Lancashire). He grew up in an agricultural family, and worked as a farm laborer his teen years, which gave him plenty of time to become both aware and respectful of the ever-changing beauty of the landscape around him. Goldsworthy was born in 1956 in Cheshire, England and raised in Yorkshire.
