my favorite artist. ever.

dear andy goldsworthy,

i have been in awe of your work for more than the last decade. your use of natural materials speaks to my visceral obsession with stone and wood, trees and water. the solid elements of life. the fleeting nature of your art makes me want to grab the beauty you purposefully create for just a moment longer, before it flies away, melts, erodes, disappears.
and therein lies the exact philosophy: be present in the process of creation, enjoy what is - right now - because the cycle stops for no one, no thing. 

life, ephemeral.
