The front cover is impressive and the inside never fails to impress. First of all you are hit by the beauty of Goldsworthy's sculptures and in equal parts by the way in which they are captured photographically. The production is superb and does justice to the sculpture and photography. The book is divided into sections for different types of sculptures made from stone. Each chapter has an introduction with insights into Goldsworthy's feelings, thoughts, direction and creative vision. The sculptures were created in various sites between 1990 and 1993 and included materials other than stone. Internationally recognised and appreciated, Goldsworthy creates sculptures that are part of the landscape - boulders wrapped in twigs, stone covered in leaves, a dead tree draped with red sand or something as ephemeral as overnight frost. His creations may be fleeting, may disappear from the landscape but the sculptures stay in the mind. He uses debris and creates an everlasting image, erased in time but imprinted on the brain. Maple leaves edge boulders like the back of a stegosaurus, the sun glinting through their thin substance. This is a beautiful book and would look great on the coffee table, but do read it, do look at it often and frequently and wonder at the beauty of things that lie around and what we can make of this world.
