I had great difficulty with these pictures...The main reason being Goldsworthy is NOT a photographer. He is a sculptor. He sculpts things and then takes pictures of his sculpture. They're beautiful compositions but that's just it. I don't have the time nor the ability to create an ice sculpture that winds itself around a tree. ANOTHER reason why this assignment was difficult is because it is, at present winter. In winter there is constant SNOW. Therefore all of his beautiful sand pictures, and flower petal, and leave pictures are physically impossible to create. I tried to blend the use of nature and man made creativity in the bottom two, and on the top one i found a photo he took where he painted a tree red....so there we have it. To be frank i thought this assignment was rather silly for digital photography students because were are photographers...not sculptors.
I agree with you...I would not do this again, especially in winter. That's why I changed it from summative to formative. Thanks for trying.
