His piece in the Watercolour exhibition at Tate Britain was one of the few pieces that interested me at all in a show that was heavy on maps and scientific work and far too light on the contemporary practice of watercolour, or which I'm sure there is plenty (one Anish Kapoor piece and a few others doesn't really count).
In his book 'Time', Goldsworthy shows work where he uses nature in a direct and hands on way. The example I have used below, the placing of snowballs that have natural dye from nearby trees on paper and allowing them time to melt leaving behind a mark that is unique and unrepeatable, demonstrates an accute sense of time passing that I like and a respect toward the power and enormity of nature. It shows the power not only of nature, but of our environment as a whole - the element of chance and a greater force that is beyond human action.
