Must See: Andy Goldsworthy documentary Rivers and Tides

If you’re an Andy Goldsworthy fan, I’d highly recommend this documentary on him. If you’re not a Goldsworthy fan, I bet you’ll become one really quickly if you watch this film. His work is pure wonderment.
Seeing Goldsworthy at work on his ephemeral pieces, made completely of found materials, is almost meditative just to watch. I don’t know what I expected him to be like as a person, but I was enchanted in the documentary to see that he is so much a part of his work, and vice versa. You can’t imagine him doing anything else with his life, and it seems to completely consume him, so that he is completely at peace while he’s working.
