• ‟ As with all my work, whether it's a leaf on a rock or ice on a rock, I'm trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things. Working the surface of a stone is an attempt to understand the internal energy of the stone.

  - Andy Goldsworthy
  

• ‟ It takes between three and six hours to make each snowball, depending on snow quality. Wet snow is quick to work with but also quick to thaw, which can lead to a tense journey to the cold store.

  - Andy Goldsworthy
  

• ‟ I am not a performer but occasionally I deliberately work in a public context. Some sculptures need the movement of people around them to work.

  - Andy Goldsworthy
  

• ‟ Ideas must be put to the test. That's why we make things, otherwise they would be no more than ideas. There is often a huge difference between an idea and its realisation. I've had what I thought were great ideas that just didn't work.

  - Andy Goldsworthy
  

• ‟ Photography is a way of putting distance between myself and the work which sometimes helps me to see more clearly what it is that I have made.

  - Andy Goldsworthy
