“Rivers and Tides” by
Andy Goldsworthy
On 22nd August 2016, all the
students of Department of English have attended a movie screening of “Rivers
and Tide”.
Here I have shared my views regarding this film.
In this documentary, Andy Goldsworthy
makes different shapes by natural elements and creates his art works. The
documentary is directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer and released in 2001. It very
much connected with life and our nature that how we imitates the nature in
different way. When we watch this documentary, it goes monotonously and the
artist is doing the same work repeatedly until he gets the perfection.
The very first artwork was shaping ice
in the design of river, and we can observe that when he has completed his work
the sun rises and ice started melting which shows the transience nature of
human life. We always try to find something from nothingness and though if we
get something it is not permanent, but the process of finding gives pleasure.
Goldsworthy has said in his documentary that,
“My all efforts are
trying to make something that is effortless”
His another work was from stones, he was
arranging stones in a shape of a big egg, four times it happened that when he
is very near to complete it has collapsed he got disappointed too but on next
day he started again and he has completed it. He has expressed his feelings
that an artist is connected with his art piece, he said that,
“I am very much
connected with the stones”
He has used earth, air and water for his
art work. He has used nature as canvas as well as colours and brush to express
his ideas.
