Andy Goldsworthy was born in Cheshire, England, in 1956 and currently lives in Penpont, Scotland. He studied at Bradford School of Art and Preston Polytechnic and has been making art in the environment, both rural and urban, since the mid-1970s. Goldsworthy has produced more than 70 exhibitions and projects all over the world including the Canadian Arctic, Digne, France, the streets of London and Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.
