Rivers and Tides


  • "Rivers and Tides"
  • Andy Goldsworthy
  • Anyone who has built a sand castle by the edge of the sea and paused to observe the rising tide creep in and wash it away, can sink into the contemplative world of the Scottish artist profiled in Thomas Riedelsheimer's film ''Rivers and Tides: Andy Goldsworthy Working With Time.''
    This bearded, soft-spoken 46-year-old dreamer, who shares an old stone house with his wife and four children in a rural village, Penpont, works mostly outdoors, creating mutable sculptures that he calls earthworks. These organic sculptures interact with nature in a way that magically illuminates the cycles of creation, destruction and renewal.
    Although some of his work, like a winding stone wall that he built at the Storm King Arts Center in Mountainville, N.Y., has longevity, most of it involves ice, water, leaves, grass, mud and stones and is not built to last: its evanescence is an essential aspect of its beauty. But thanks to photography and to movies like this, it can live on.
    Mr. Goldsworthy documents his projects in photographs that are exhibited in galleries and published in art books like ''Hand to Earth: Andy Goldsworthy Sculpture 1976-1990'' (Harry N. Abrams). But Mr. Reidelshheimer's film lends it an immediacy that still photographs can only begin to suggest.




  • Andy Goldsworthy OBE is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist who produces site-specific sculptures and land art situated in natural and urban settings. He lives and works in Scotland.

Andy Goldsworthy's art is supposed to fall apart. He creates large-scale outdoor sculptures and artworks out of natural materials like mud, wood, ice and stone in an attempt to imbue the physical world with a spiritual, ephemeral element. Director Thomas Riedelsheimer follows Goldsworthy as he constructs his art everywhere from upstate New York to his home village in Scotland, and questions the solitary artist about his inspirations, frustrations and artistic goals.

Points
            All like destruction
            Working with time
            Understand the Changes
            Color is expression of life

Linguistics and Language

UNIT 1: LINGUISTICS A) The Nature of Language Language is the fundamental instrument of human communication, thought, and culture. At a postgraduate level, language is defined not merely as a set of words, but as a dynamic, rule-governed system of arbitrary vocal symbols used by humans to interact, express identity, and transmit knowledge across generations. Core Characteristics of Human Language To understand the nature of language, modern linguistics identifies key properties (often referred to as Hockett’s Design Features ) that separate human language from animal communication systems: 1. Arbitrariness There is no natural, logical, or intrinsic connection between a linguistic sign (the word) and the real-world object or concept it represents (the referent). For instance, the physical domestic canine animal is called dog in English, chien in French, perro in Spanish, and kutta in Hindi. None of these sound combinations has an inherent "dog-like" quality; the ...

Literary Research

Literary Research: Foundations, Methods, and Mechanics Unit 1: Fundamentals of Literary Research A) What is Literary Research? At the postgraduate and professional level, literary research transitions from intuitive reading, subjective appreciation, or classroom commentary (explication de texte) into an organized, evidence-based inquiry. It is a systematic investigation into the conditions under which literary texts are created, transmitted, interpreted, and institutionalized. Unlike the natural sciences, which rely primarily on empirical experimentation, literary research relies on textual, historical, contextual, and theoretical evidence to advance original arguments. Literary research operates across three primary methodological domains: 1. Empirical & Material Research This domain focuses on the physical, archival, and historical realities of literary artifacts. It encompasses:  * Textual Scholarship & Descriptive Bibliography: Analyzing the physical codex, paper compos...
