Roof 2004 - 2005

"Roof" (2004-2005), by British artist Andy Goldsworthy, is a large-scale, site-specific installation comprised of slate stones arranged in a series of circular mounds. The artist's use of natural materials like slate and the inherent organic quality of the spherical forms reference the passage of time, growth, and natural cycles. The installation is an example of Goldsworthy's signature land art practice, known for its integration with the surrounding landscape and its transient nature. The work is often displayed outdoors and subject to the elements, allowing for a continual process of change and decay.
