Rivers & Tides is a Scottish-German documentary about artist Andy Goldsworthy, a Scotsman whose long-winding rock walls, icicle assemblages and other intricate, druidic masterpieces are made entirely of materials found in the wild. Gorgeously shot and edited by director Thomas Riedelsheimer, it is an intoxicating study of the fragile relationship between man, art and nature. Goldsworthy is seen hard at work making ephemeral sculptures out of bits of ice in the trees, or building tall, mysterious cones from loose rock, which stand like spiritual sentinels in forests and on shorelines, overgrown by plants or swallowed daily by high tides.
Paul Downs, Greenbelt Earth Artist, will discuss the film, and his own artistic process of creation from Nature’s material forms, and invite community discussion. Paul’s art is now featured in the New Deal Cafe, and on display in many homes and businesses throughout our area.
