Looking For Andy – San Francisco, California

December 5th, 2011

I went to visit my friend Jim in San Francisco a few weekends ago. On Sunday it was pouring rain New England style, so we decided to go on a minor adventure to find some Andy Goldsworthy installations in the woods of the Presido called Spire and Wood Line. Spire turned out to be hard to miss, but finding Wood Line took a few attempts of walking off trail into the woods based on the vague directions. The sun came out on queue when we found Wood Line without any kind of marking or fanfare. I like to think that Andy would have wanted us to have to wander around the woods a little before we were able to find it. Andy Goldsworthy creates installations in nature and using natural materials. The documentary Rivers and Tides is a great introduction to his work and is one of my favorite films.
