Book Review: creativity meets nature
Summary: 5 Stars
Goldsworthy is a master at using nature in creative ways. I own his book, "A Collaboration With Nature," which is also a beautiful book, but what i love about "Passage" is how it documents and details the design process and the way Goldsworthy actually created his artwork. My favorite piece of work of his in this book is the one he calls pool of light - a huge circle of split wood facing a certain direction so that when the sun hits it, it is illuminated a rich golden color, surrounded by more split wood facing a different direction so that when the sun hits the circle or "Pool", the surrounding wood is dark. By the afternoon, when the sun hits the field of wood from a different direction, the colors are reversed, with the circle appearing dark, and the surrounding wood illuminated golden.
Goldsworthy's ability to use the ordinary changes in nature (such as the sunrises and sunsets, the ocean tides or currents in rivers), and to weave those changes into his art in an interactive way, is nothing short of genius. The photography is also extraordinary. This book is inspirational - it makes you want to go outside, commune with nature, and a create something!
