Art, for tech (Inspired by Andy Goldsworthy)
-
So since i live near the beach I decided to study Andy Goldsworthy and make my own things based on his stuff for an extra thing to hand in for tech. So here it is, C&C very welcome and also any further ideas what i could do would be nice :D
Interesting idea. Is Andy Goldaworthy an Artist? Photographer?
I think you need to find a different angle to make these a little different.
You’ve obviously gone to heaps of effort and time making them, but I’m not sure the viewpoint in your pictures is right.
It looks as if your looking at them from an angle, from directly above would maybe be better? Maybe?It might be worth trying a few really close and quirky crops too, to add your own style.
I’m not sure what your brief was, but maybe things would have been simpler if you were to work with something that was already there?
If you know where the seaweed bath house is in Newcastle, just across the road from there if you hop over the wall and down to the beach,
there are some really funky rock formations, it’s like the surface from another planet or something, but it may be easier to photograph something
that is already there without having he extra work of creating something yourself and perhaps loosing sight of what you want to show.But, that said, I don’t know the brief. So all that could be the completely the wrong advice.

Hi Hayley,
You could have wet the stones in these and maybe produced a different twist.
Cheers.

Hi Haley. I like these. Interesting idea. I would agree with Sinead about the angle though. If possible shoot from directly above. I don’t think I would have the patience or artistic talent to put one of these together. Well done
Oh yeah, I have seen similiar done using feathers, wood, marbles, shells and seaweed to create faces etc. Might be worth a try. Also combs brushes etc to create patterns in the sand. (Brings a new meaning to beachcombing. :D )
no there was no brief the tutor just suggested for us to optionally do it and so i did for extra marks, i will post a few of his pictures to show where I am getting these ideas from
they are just a few of the things he has done so i have to try and do my own style of it.
Nice images.
There was a marvellous documentary on tv about Goldsworthy’s work last year. His installations are very beautiful but he’s a perfectionist in everything he does; this makes his work extraordinarily difficult to reproduce I’d say. He has a very deep understanding of the simplest things in nature. His work is ephemeral, beautiful, transient, and unique.
Interesting, Haleycopter.
We are always so careful to photograph nature as it is.I wonder if in the first one you arranged a row of stones
to echo the shape of the wave, that is, if you had time;
or could predict its progress.
