His work shows that we as humans have some ability of controlling nature, but eventually, in the end, nature controls us. His goal is to understand nature by directly participating in nature as intimately as he can. Instead of randomly placed objects he gives them composition in a circle or a line or some form of shape. It is almost as if it is protecting the tree despite it’s ice and can will melt or can be easily broken. It is very delicate and simple despite the complex of making the ice spiral. Photos also play a big part in his work, because his work is often in a ephemeral state he photographs them at their peak point, marking the moment when the work is most alive.
For his brief works Goldsworthy often uses only his bare hands, teeth, and found tools to prepare and arrange the materials, however his permanent pieces like ‘Roof’, ‘Stone River’ and ‘Three Cairns’, he has employed the use of machine tools. Goldsworthy uses a range of materials in his sculptures brightly-coloured flowers, icicles, leaves, mud, pinecones, snow, stone, twigs, and thorns.
