Wall
Andy Goldsworthy (English 1956)



Andy Goldsworthy is one of the most original artist I have ever heard of. His greatest work was his wall at the storm king arts center in New York. It was a stone wall that ran two thousand two hundred and seventy eight feet. The most amazing thing about the wall is the way that it looks different every season. The seasons make a profound difference when viewing the wall in the winter it is covered in snow and weaves around snow-covered trees. In the fall brightly colored leaves surround it. The light also always changes the shade of the wall. Two-dimensional objects however can only be lit from one direction. Two-dimensional objects can’t change with the light of our world the way three-dimensional objects can. The shadows really contribute to the beauty of the wall.
