"We have to accept that we are part of the landscape and we affect the landscape through what we eat, what we wear, what we build. So we are connected. The danger is that we think we are not. We are bound up with the land; we are part of it. Now that's not a message I'm trying to preach. It's just something I understand through my work."
Andy Goldsworthy, 2015 (quote from Herald Scotland Online)
