Andy Goldsworthy

Many creators find inspirations outside of themselves. Andy Goldsworthy for example is one of the many great creators that uses outside elements from around nature to create his designs/artworks.

Andy Goldsworthy uses elements of nature as his medium of art. In this particular sculpture, the audience can see the composition of the rocks versus the tree branches in the middle. The placement of the tree branches in the hole flows outwards towards the borders on each side flowing the audiences' eyes to the rocks. Even though the rocks seem to box in the tree branches in the middle, it doesn't give a sense of too compressed, because the rocks are placed with spacial consideration; they are not placed too close to the border line giving off a sense of space.

Most designs we see today are represented by inspirations outside of the designers. Things they see, smell, feel, etc. can be put into their designs to make that connection with the audiences.
