To any artist who was ever discouraged by the ridiculous cost of materials, Andy Goldsworthy is an inspiration. Finding his subjects in nature, he creates sculptures out of organic objects (stone, wood, leaves, ice, snow) without leaving a permanent mark on the environment. From simple thorn-stitched leaf rainbows and spheres of slate to undulating rivers of fallen trees, Goldsworthy challenges our perception of nature and how to be in harmony with it. A Collaboration with Nature makes one hell of a coffee table book, so don't be surprised if you lose a guest or two, entranced by these amazing photographs.
