Andy was born on July 26, 1956 in Cheshire, United Kingdom and is 66 years old. He’s an English sculptor, photographer, and environmentalist who produces site-specific sculptures and land art situated in natural and urban settings. Working as both sculptor and photographer, Goldsworthy crafts his installations out of rocks, ice, leaves, or branches, cognizant that the landscape will change, then carefully documents the ephemeral collaborations with nature through photography. “It’s not about art,” he has explained. “It’s just about life and the need to understand that a lot of things in life do not last.” In his teen years, he worked as a farm laborer in rural England before going on to study art at Bradford College of Art and later Preston Polytechnic. In 1985, the artist moved to Scotland where he began producing work. Goldworthy’s works are held in the collections of the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, the Storm King Art Center in Mountainville, NY, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C, among others.  The artist currently lives and works in Dumfriesshire, United Kingdom.
