Art Salon December 17, 2025 (10:30am)
Topaz room, HOA2 Arts & Craft Center, Mountain View complex
Presented by Dan Studiner
You are invited to attend the December Art Salon to learn about the art of Andrew Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy incorporates found objects from nature to create his sculptures, then uses photography to capture images of his often-ephemeral art. Rather than interfering in natural processes, his work magnifies existing ones through deliberately minimal intervention in the landscape. The materials include such items as brightly colored flowers, leaves, mud, pinecones, snow, icicles, stone, and twigs. Born in 1956 and a lifetime artist, he continues to create, and with the passage of time, his works have become increasingly permanent in nature, further solidifying his legacy.
All program attendees are encouraged to bring a few small stones, leaves, or other items from nature which we will use to create and photograph a group artwork near the close of this program. Come and enjoy the uniqueness and creativity of Goldsworthy’s methods and works. Guests are welcome.
