“My art is an attempt to reach beyond the surface appearance. I want to see growth in wood, time in stone, nature in a city, and I do not mean its parks but a deeper understanding that a city is nature too – the ground upon which it is built, the stone with which it is made.” ~ Andy Goldsworthy

“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.” “I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day’s work.” ~ Frank Lloyd Wright.
