Time, Flow, and Lifeforce
Greetings again from the darkness. Insight into the mind and motivation of a wonderful artist. How strange for most of us to see someone who MUST work… no matter the conditions, else his reason for living ceases. To see Goldsworthy’s sculptures come alive and to see his reaction to each is extremely voyeuristic. This artist creates because he must – not for money or fame. It is his lifeforce. When you see his failures, energy seems to expel from his body like a burst hot air balloon. It is not the dread of beginning again, it is that he takes his energy from his work. Watching him create just to have nature takeover and recall his work is somewhat painful, but nonetheless, breathtaking. He discusses flow and time in the minimal dialog and there appears to be little doubt that the artist and the earth are one in the same. When he says he needs the earth, but it does not need him … I beg to differ. Only complaint is the musical score seems to slow down further a pace that is relaxing at best.
A work of art about the work of an artist
An absolutely wonderful documentary which explores the creative process of Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy, whose specialty is making art in the natural environment using natures materials: leaves, rock, twigs etc. By there very nature these works of art he so painstakingly creates are temporary, lasting, in some cases, just a matter of hours.This wonderful film provides us with many memorable images: a delicate ice structure melting in the early morning sun; a beehive hut constructed on a river bank with the branches of trees, being gently and carefully carried away by the tide. Goldsworthy says he does not see nature as destroying his structures but,rather, extending the process of creation, bringing his work onto another plane.
The only voice we hear is Galsworthy’s as he explains his work and his view of the world. It’s not all plain sailing; we see his frustration as something he’s worked on for hours collapses or is blown away by a gust of wind. On an aesthetic level, the movie is faultless as it gently reveals the artists wondrous view of nature and its beauty. A movie that draws you in as it explores the mysteries of the creative process. A joy to watch. Highly recommended.
