Documentary :-Rivers and Tides

Andy Goldsworthy OBE is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist who produce site specific sculptures and land art situated in natural and urban settings. He lives and works in Scotland.

Rivers and Tides is a documentary by Goldswothy. It present transitory nature of time ,life and art. He make all the things so many time but it dies away. Try to imagine executing artwork through the medium of iron oxide chalk, raw sheep’s wool, flower blossoms, leaves and grass, feathers, random sticks and stones, broken rocks, pieces of icicle, green iris blades and red berries, thorns, bracken, or handfuls of snow.He tries to create land on canvas. 

He is no to capture it clearly, but to participate in it. He gone to live in new environment  and here he feels that he touched the heart of place. He says that Seeing something that you never saw before, that was always there but you were blind to it.

He collets stones and through a stone promontory like a fat crystal thread construct an “igloo” of driftwood that is carried away by the incoming tide. 

Here he shows change between plant and earth and heat of ground earth. In this documentary he use technology , video  and photography. He store all the things as this way and not store it on paper because in technology or on internet all things can be saved  for more time.He stored his art in digital form and on paper .

Here by this idea we can say that nothing can be static in this world. Someday and somehow all thing will die,this is the rule of nature. 

 In his documentary he used most of the things in circles because circle is a shape of nature.He has painstakingly collected red iron ore stones from the river bottom and ground them to a powder, commenting that iron is what makes our blood red as well. When he mixes the powder with water and trickles it across rock or into the stream, the color is a shock: it seems so alien to the river, yet is deeply rooted in it.By this he thikt that the color is the experssion of life.
