I can't recall his name, but he had such innovative and avant garde ideas.

I like the role reversal here: the boldness of nature when man's impact is small. I like this.

I think as long as nothing is permanently altered and no damage is done, (and everything is cleaned up afterwards) it's fine. Actually more then fine, it's great, because it has the potential to engage people on various levels, and encourages questions and thought as to our relationship with nature. We need more of that.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913095438247860953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793508694841088878.post-69589340457998352312009-01-07T21:07:00.000-05:002009-01-07T21:07:00.000-05:00Fun chairs in the woods...

That's one of the nice things about Andy Goldsworthy's art — he works with materials collected at the scene. <BR/><BR/>I kind of like the chairs too, they're a bit surreal.

They look so expectant, waiting there, like they are having a chair convention out in the forest. But then again, I always personify inanimate household objects, so maybe that's just me.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211797571405802312noreply@blogger.com
