Andy Goldsworthy Art Tours

All proceeds donated to Sawyer Park.

Walks lasts roughly 3 hours on wooded trails over some uneven terrain.

Andy Goldsworthy is a sculptor, photographer and environmentalist who produces site-specific sculptures and land art in natural and urban settings. The materials used in Andy Goldsworthy’s art includes mud, pinecones, snow, stone, leaves, twigs and water.

On this tour, a docent will take you on an exploration of four Goldsworthy pieces - including one new piece added in 2023, as well as another that is part of a private collection and rarely available for public viewing.

• Watershed Boulder, a monumental installation that evolves with the rain, ice and snow
• Boulder House, constructed in-situ around an enormous glacial boulder
• Passage, a powerful and experiential piece featured in the Andy Goldsworthy documentary Leaning Into The Wind
• RECENTLY ADDED: Five Ten, an impactful native stone building built around a recently discovered rustic and timeless car that tells a story through unique features in its wheel, and bullet holes throughout the chassis.
