#landart by d master – different way of feeling d #nature

hello, hi there, it’s been 12 years since I first wrote about Andy Goldsworthy here. quite long, isn’t it? this blog has been around for a long time, d problem is that u may have forgotten is that my last post here was eight years ago! 🙂

iHope that u`re doing well all these years and that there are still active readers among those who were here with me a decade ago. Let’s enjoy together the works of the fascinating creators of #landart – Andy Goldsworthy.

:Andy Goldsworthy has been present on d world #art scene for so many years for a reason, he is one of d best land art artists who has made a shift in d experience of art with his works. it showed a symbiosis between d refined and the natural, d organic & pure holy artistic, precise touch. in harmony with d existing, he creates pieces of transcendent balance with d extraterrestrial, d cosmic.

  • although d works/ masterpieces are subject to decay, transient, with a shelf life, he creates an excellence that melts with d beauty of d moment. as he himself says: “The biggest failure is to make a work that is safe, that doesn’t take a risk. I’m taking big risks with no safety net.”

Andy Goldsworthy is one of the world’s most renowned site-specific artists. In 2005, Smithsonian Magazine named him one of 35 people “who made a difference”, saying that he uses “nature as his canvas [to create] work of transcendent beauty.”


Born in 1956, Goldsworthy spent his childhood in Yorkshire, England. His work has been featured in a diverse array of open air spaces from the Yorkshire Dales to the North Pole and the Australian Outback. His works in the Bay Area include Stone River at Stanford University and Drawn Stone at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. Goldsworthy draws his inspiration from place and creates art from the materials found close at hand, such as twigs, leaves, stones, snow, and ice, striving “to make connections between what we call nature and what we call man-made.”

regardless of whether he works with stones, branches, ice, three-dimensional, with reflection, on d ground, in water or in d air, he creates meditative spaces that change d viewer’s attention depending on the psychological articulation. his famous installations like: Spire, Wood Line, Tree Fall, and Earth Wall – created here between 2008 and 2014, declared him as a leader in his discipline/ category, even wider.

I just saw this amazing work from d Italian artist Giuseppe Penone who tries to get at d core of d trunk and there, as in a hidden universe to reveal d babe, d ancient beginning of d life of a tree.

.this amazing work is part of his exhibition “The Hidden Life Within“ (2012) for which he come up with d piece, he took a massive tree trunk and carved it away, ring by ring, to show off d tree’s earliest self.

Tree of 12 Metres was made by scraping away the wood from a felled tree, which had first been roughly sawn into a beam, to reveal its internal structure of narrow core and developing branches. Penone’s aim was to return the tree to the form it had had at an earlier stage of its growth, making visible natural processes which are normally hidden.

.d result is remarkable, showing off where d larger tree came from, and how it changed with years of growth. this idea brings us back to d essence, d very foundation of our growth, our connection with nature, our consciousness that in each of us lies fragile, gentle soul piece that keep us protected from d external influences.

.gif me ur camera

.hi there,

.probably u remember that d story with d city camera that is like d eye of d beholder, or d Big Brother eye of everything is idea that firstly was used in d contemporary, street art by #banksy and if u try to search around this blog maybe u’ll find some of those versions. this one is interesting for me because is like ballet, “wall ballet“ – is this new term (?!) or… never mind. they look at each other, do some movements around d wall, u see me, I don’t see u, I see u and u look up in d air, I see u, then u look down in d ground. no problem (ok, I am tripping, but I really try to get back to this blog). there is some really strong connection, that is technological dance people, there is drama, like 2 people behind d cameras are trying to see what d other is doing while he is not watching his personal skin or smt – it’s up to u if u want to see it or not.

:like being in a dream

OK, it’s been more then a year dear friends. I know I have a lot of followers here, and I really respect all of u but somehow this year was not conceptual at all for me. Well, in a way it was, but in real life, that’s why I was gone from this little and very important space for me.

Curiosity-Cloud-by-MischerTraxler_dezeen_468_8.we’ve seen so many good things this year so it’s basically pretty hard to mention what was good and what was not. I’m very, very happy that in my stream I recognize a lot of d things/ art pieces that I already have here and maybe that was d spot that demotivate me to share other (new) things. any way is good to know that u have good eyes and good sense for art in general, that shows to me personally that it’s maybe time to return myself here and at least once in month to share d art that I appreciate.

:my year was like “curiosity cloud” I tried so many new things, start working on so many other interactive projects and that’s why today I’ll share with u this beautiful, amazing project that is named like these and is full of magic.

:this Viennese design duo Mischer’Traxler explain why they filled a room at London’s V&A Museum with hundreds of fluttering insects. Katharina Mischer and Thomas Traxler’s installation for Perrier-Jouët consists 264 suspended blown-glass bulbs, each of which contains a hand-made model of an insect.

.d installation contains 25 different varieties of insect, including a mixture of common, endangered and newly-discovered species. each insect is attached to a motor at d top of d bulbs with a thin wire. thermal imaging sensors around d installation trigger d motors when they detect visitors’ presence. d buzzing noises can be heard outside the space, enticing visitors inside the gilded room.

– intelligent and pretty modern and constructive way to connect d idea of nature and electricity (industrialization), to make relation between something small and colorful, that will give some warmth and d noise that they produce like u’re somewhere outdoor and listen d inner life of d planet.

.great concept, way to go in this 21 century confusing, open minded, not defined and wide diapason of art “attack” and showing something “different”. this is peaceful but in same time so noisy, like we are in our minds. do u like it?

:I didn’t have a lot of time to write things here, but even like this I used to receive some mails from wordpress that my blog is booming and gets a lot of traffic. sooo, well, yes, today I decide to refresh it a bit, since is weekend and I didn’t went out. how do u like it? d side bar and d part on d bottom are new, before I use some online service for free image links but after a while they were gone. probably they clean d base or smt. never mind! 😀

let’s see what we have today?

p2– earlier today I wrote an article for my web site for this artist and I start thinking that this is not just daily art that will go back to nowhere. .. u know, great art nowadays is just some content that we eat daily. but, this, this is a #lifetime #project. yes, definitely it is!

:this awesome man, Ra Paulette from New Mexico, decide to create sculptures inside caves. He spent over 10 years in creating about 14 magical caves, full with different lights and ambient, different forms and structures. it’s not a little thing to spend a decade excavating tunnels and passageways, digging, creating intricate patterns and carving designs and benches in the sandstone cliffs in northern New Mexico.

– great concept and pure motivation, this is d moment when being cavedigger it’s not only perceive as physical work but with d soul of d art. this is magnum opus, this is d best from his work!

ra-paulette-cave-carving-13each cathedral-like room takes him years to complete and is a masterwork that was created without the use of machines, еach room has its own unique design with patterns that were carved by hand. smooth carved walls, natural light from mountainside windows and sensual, sweeping lines.

do u like this idea? what about making ur personal imaginarium, cave of ur dreams that will be somewhere near ur house. no tools, no machines, only u and ur will of making someting amazing. will u or u just want to reblog this post on ur “white space”? anyway . .. u can leave ur comments below or on :d white b[l]og ::: #facebook page

:thanks for being here, catch u up later! 🙂
