Andy Goldsworthy, the British artist and sculptor, created this drawing called 'Roof III - Aerial View' using graphite and paper. Goldsworthy's practice is deeply rooted in the land, and his ephemeral sculptures made from natural materials respond to and reflect the beauty of the environment. This drawing offers a peek into Goldsworthy's process, documenting an aerial perspective of his sculptural work. The rooftop, rendered as a series of circular forms, captures an emotional aspect of the artwork. The circles may remind us of tree trunks, and the drawing has the feeling of a natural setting. Goldsworthy's art provides us with an alternative narrative. It emphasizes our connection to the earth, even as it addresses environmental and sustainability issues. His careful arrangement and close attention to natural details urges us to see the natural world around us in a new way.
