Movie: Rivers and Tides

This movie, recommended to me in Cool Tools and elsewhere, turns out to be really beautiful, showcasing the work of Scottish artist (using only natural materials like stone, leaves, sticks, ice, etc...) Andy Goldsworthy. Goldswothy creates a combination of mostly incredibly ephemeral 'sculptures' which last between seconds and days to a smaller number of permanent pieces like the incredible stone wall at Storm King (in NY which I'd love to visit). The movie shows off around 15 pieces in 90 minutes and Goldsworthy's commentary as he tries to articulate what his art is about is wonderful. The influence of place on his work, particularly his home in the Scottish highlands, is also fascinating. ***1/2
