Throughout andy Goldsworthy's work, his non-destructive creations invoke similar themes. Manipulating nature to form recognizable structures without tools results in patterns like stacking, condensed versus uncontrolled subjects, and order compared to disorder.
I was particularly inspired by the look of stacked repetition and vague yet obvious forms. The piece I made involved cutting triangles of paper and staking them to form a likeness of a tower. The actual shape can be interpreted in various ways, and the relationship between the shape and the material itself encourages thought on the behalf of the audience. However, unlike Andy Goldsworthy, the piece does not fit in or stand out from the surrounding environment. I chose instead to photograph it against solid black, emphasizing the structure itself but also taking away meaning from the material, as there is no context with which to compare. I also chose to create a photo on a smaller scale, which resulted i fewer details to include.
