Enclosure is the latest book collection of Andy Goldsworthy's work. Goldsworthy is an ephemeral artist, who works with items in nature, such as rocks, leaves, snow, and even the rain as it falls on the ground. While Enclosure repeats some of the work that can be found in Goldsworthy's other book, Arch, Enclosure gives more details and insight into how Andy Goldsworthy plans his works and executes his sculptures. Enclosure focuses primarily on Goldsworthy's project to recreate sheepfolds in Northwest England. Not only did Goldsworthy rebuild many of these folds so that they could fulfill their intended purpose, but he also took into account the history of the land and its people in his shape and design. Throughout the book is a diary account that gives great insight into the thought process of the artist at work and the planning of this monumental sculpture. Enclosure typifies Goldsworthy's books showcasing his thought process, sketches, and photographs of his work in process. It is a great addition to any fan of Andy Goldsworthy or of ephemeral art. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"In an agricultural context, the word 'enclosure' refers to an area of land surrounded by a boundry...In Britain, farmers have since Neolithic times enclosed sheep in walled structures called sheepfolds. Beginning in 1996, Goldsworthy undertook a highly ambitious project that involved restoring sheepfolds spread throughout Cumbria." It is this extraordinary project that forms the core of Enclosure.--pg.9. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Goldsworthy approached Cumbria County Council with the idea of renovating them to enclose some of his artworks or to actually be the artwork in some cases. To complete this task would require more than one man and he set about it with a team of stonewallers and big machines. By the time he had gone to 2006 a total of 35 folds had been created and it is those that are documented and photographed in this book.
And as with all of his other books that I have read, it is just beautiful. Not only does he take a pretty good photo of his creations, but it is those creations that make this book so special. A lot of his art is normally more transitory, made from leaves, ice and sticks, but these are very much more permanent installations. There are sheepfolds with huge boulders in, some with cairns and others with substantial parts of a tree built-in. Some of the folds are lovingly restored and others he has pushed what he can do with the structures incorporating elements in the walls that surprise and delight. If you have ever come across his work before this is another book that you should read. ( )
