Andy Goldsworthy – Green leaves

A circular arrangement of leaves in this fascinating Andy Goldsworthy land art opens like a brilliant kaleidoscope. Inviting reflection on the cycle of life and the interconnectivity of nature. The opposing colours converge around a mysterious black vacuum at the centre. Moreover, from the dark green outside border to the bright green middle layer and the dazzling yellow inner edge is mesmerizing.

In the given image, the artist made a sculpture having leaves laid around the hole with the help of repeating shapes and colours. The artist has organized hundreds and thousands of oblong leaves. These leaves are coloured maroon, red, orange, and yellow and are arranged in a circular motion. The outer layer consists of maroon leaves and it transitions into a band of red, orange, and yellow colours with the oblong leaves having the same size and thinly convex shape with a black circle in the center. This sculpture was made by him in 1987, taking into consideration the aesthetic theory of emotionalism. This sculpture creates a visual of a dark hole and space in the center which is enough for anyone to get lost in it.
