Garden of Stone (Goldsworthy)

Perhaps Goldsworthy is just nice. He perceives everything to be this great cosmic dance. He his work is concentrated on the idea of birth and death cycles. Creation of the memorial is not an aberration, but a chance to continue his thoughts in a different environment. He deals with the balance of nature through time and cycles. This outlook is extremely spiritual and could not manifest itself in someone that did not believe in spirituality. So to create this memorial he merely channeled himself into the work to achieve, what is in a sense, a piece of poetry. Those who do not share this similar sense of spirituality will likely never understand it.
