1. Review and reflect on the art work of Andy Goldsworthy

After viewing his photography (http://www.goldsworthy.cc.gla.ac.uk/), I feel as if something is out of place. Like in this picture http://www.goldsworthy.cc.gla.ac.uk/image/?id=ag_01811 , you have this nature scene but with some sort of man made creation, and although it looks like something natural, say a boulder, it just doesnt seem right, like its out of place. Trying to fit in with nature but not succeeding.
Its seen again in this photo http://www.goldsworthy.cc.gla.ac.uk/image/?id=ag_05392 . you have this human trying to fit in with his surroundings, but for some reason it just isnt working, its like its trying to fit in with nature, its surroundings, but its not quite right.

After viewing this work i just cant help but feel that human kind has come along way since its roots, major advances, new technology, but with all these new great things, we somehow now seem out of place. Its like were aliens on our own planet. If you look at where we live (houses, towns, cities) compared to where the rest of the species lives, its like we dont belong anymore. Weve lost our connection, our sense of place on our planet.
