Friedman, Terry. Goldsworthy, Andy. Hand to Earth: Andy Goldsworthy, Sculpture 1976-1990. London: Harry N. Abrams, Inc. 2004.
Hand to Earth was a very comprehensive publication of Goldsworthy’s work. It provided an extensive number of photographs of his work as well as supporting text with critical and descriptive essays, quotations from the artist himself, and three supporting interviews. I found this source useful, as if gave me many options for possible works which i could include for this presentation. It also gave me a great insight into the extensivesss of the Goldsworthy's use of nature as his medium, and the endless possibilities to creating natural yet contrasting pattern.

Goldsworthy, Andy. Ice and Snow drawings.
Scotland, Edinburgh: The FruitMarket Gallery, 1992.
Ice and Snow drawings provided a very in depth explanation in first person of Goldsworthy’s experiences in natural settings and the initial occurrences of his inspiration for his series of ice and snow drawings. The account is set in a sequential manner with supporting photographs of the work but no photographs of the process itself. I found the drawings interesting yet slightly repetitive however, the sustaining text I found, was very useful as it was the most accurate and cohesive description of thought, experience and process from the artist compared to the other sources which in comparison to this seem quite brief.

This website provided extensive sample entries from Andy Goldsworthy Digital Catalogue DVD (Volume One: 1976-1986) which is accessed by appointment at the University of Glasgow, Crichton Campus, Dumfries. I assumed that a copy of this DVD would be difficult to find locally but nonetheless this website was still very useful. The site primarily functions as a preview to the original though I still found that it had a very in-depth analysis on specific works and a great range of progressive photographs of the artist in action, from the dawn to the disintegration of the work. It also included previously unpublished notes from Goldsworthy’s Sketchbook Diaries, which was a great insight to the artists thought process.
