Rivers and tides

Rivers and tides - Andy goldswarthy working with time.
Rivers and tides is a 2001 documentary film directed by Thomas Goldsworthy.
Andy Goldsworthy who is an artist whose speciality is sculptures made from elements of nature. which lasts for few times. we watch Goldsworthy builds man sized standing " eggs" of stacked slate on a beach between tides. And then it is drown by tides. He speaks simply " The work has been given to the see as gift "
But that egg was as it is , as it was  his art so it couldn't destroy.
He does his work by giving his 100% attention , and fully concentration. he made his work as meditation.
- He  plucked lots of yellow flower and put it in mountain stones beautifully.
Artist uses sheep' s wool and designed it on stones , it became border and gives new look , as we see in drawing.
The film maker Riedelsheimer wittily shows us a work in progress or a piece of the whole , that we don't understand.

it tries to give us the sight to watch nature how it is pregmatic itself. it always take birth by itself and blossoms.birth of lamb is beautifully picturise.
The Goldsworthy at least creates a large  wall which is in shape of river.
He always thinks that he is flowing of water. he is proving that '' Change is nature"  and what he had created has to destroy by itself. What is born is going to die.
there is his family shown us. it is also necessary because when a artist wants to create something  he should have to pay his fully concentration on it and so he, can't give attention  on his personal life but Goldsworthy's wife and family  co - operates with him . In this way this documentary short film is very beautiful.
