Wood Line by Andy Goldsworthy

Wood Line, in Goldsworthy's words, "draws the place." Filling an empty space between planted rows of a historic forest, Wood Line represents the quiet meandering of the forest and serves as a literal layer adding to the historic site. The artwork is not made to improve the place, but to be engaged and to work with it.

As a part of the experience, feel welcome to walk on or next to the sculpture and trace the landscape. Notice the sound of the Eucalyptus branches creaking and the fragrance of the leaves. Are there animals sharing the space? Are other people engaging with the sculpture in the same fashion? Considering the sculpture as a layer on the landscape that is not permanent, what does it add to the space, physically and metaphorically to you? 

- Created over two summers in 2010 and 2011
- Extends 1,200 feet, roughly the length of four football fields
