Andy Goldsworthy

Associated Names

Andy Goldsworthy

Artist, British, born 1956

The drawing features four large overlapping circles with concentric, segmented lines radiating from a central dark dot. The circles are aligned horizontally and framed by faint linear outlines. At the top, a horizontal line runs across, with semicircular arches drawn above one of the circles. The shapes create an abstract visual reminiscent of gears or wheels in a mechanical setting.
