Goldsworthy prefers to make his art on-site, with the very elements of that particular spot. "A long resting stone is not merely an object in the landscape but a deeply ingrained witness to time," he says. "My work does not lay claim to the stone, and is soon shed like a fall of snow, becoming another layer in the many layers of rain, snow, leaves, and animals that have made a stone rich in the place where it sits."
