An artistic look at the beauty of wood in its natural state. Goldsworthy creates powerful sculptures from leaves, bark, branches, ice, boulders, and sand, capturing them in photographs before nature takes them back, sometimes only minutes later.
He lines tree branches with dandelions and red maple leaves; he hangs large snowballs in trees; ribbons of leaves trail off into the water and spiral icicles circle tree trunks.
This book is loosely based around wood, but is one of a series of similar titles by Goldsworthy.
