Andy Goldsworthy was born in 1956 in Cheshire (UK). As a teenager, he worked on farms, where he came to appreciate the beauty of man-made nature, but also its harshness and the repetitive tasks imposed on farmers. This experience influenced his artistic development, as did his training at Bradford Art College in 1974. Since 1986, he has lived in the village of Penpont (Scotland), where he has set up his studio in an old stone granary. An artist of international renown, Goldsworthy works in many countries and landscapes.
