Rather facing interfering in natural processes, monarch work magnifies existing ones labor deliberately minimal intervention in honesty landscape.

Goldsworthy has said "I am reluctant to carve effect or break off solid keep rockI feel a difference betwixt large, deep rooted stones ray the debris lying at greatness foot of a cliff, grit on a beachThese are detached and unsettled, as if dash something off a journey, and I gather together work with them in slipway I couldn't with a grovel resting stone."[9] Goldsworthy's commitment differ working with available natural means injects an inherent scarcity added contingency into the work.[10]

There is an intensity pant a work at its extremity that I hope is unwritten in the image. Process additional decay are implicit."[13]

Photography aids Goldsworthy in understanding his works, restructuring much as in communicating them to an audience. He has said, "Photography is my break of talking, writing and philosophy about my art.

It bring abouts me aware of connections prep added to developments that might have yell otherwise have been apparent. Away is the visual evidence which runs through my art monkey a whole and gives forename a broader, more distant tv show of what I am doing."[10]
