Claudia -
The artist you are referring to is Andy Goldsworthy. There are several
wonderful books out about his work. I don't know the publisher, but any good
bookstore should be able to help you find them. I occasionally show slides of
his work to my students, just because he is so damn inspiring, especially for
any artist/craftsperson with a sensitivity to nature and the environment.
Although he has done some permanent installations of rock walls and earthworks,
it is the transitory, fragile nature of his "wilderness" works, built on site
using all natural materials, that I find most appealing. For those who haven't
seen his work, check him out. His books should be available in any good
library. You'll be amazed and inspired.

I like Sherry's comments. I also think Andy Goldsworthy's photographs
go way beyond photography. He captures "play" and nature and one's
individual experience in the world. (artspeak?)
