OF ANDY G[oldsworthy]
Occupy space on the beach [feeling a complete commitment to their success]:
failure is very very important.
Aesthetically awful works—-I hate looking at them.
Never fell down . . . at least when I was
drain up. I need that like I need food.
You may have seen
growing . . . They think they were the devil’s seeds.
OF ANDY G[oldsworthy]
On one hand, rise to the scale of the place.
Of the night, left them on the streets of London.
A terrible press (a lot of snowball fights that evening):
“Andy Goldsworthy said the project was pointless.”
And when I was asked to make work,
“Very violent thing to do to a stone.”
Garden looks . . . It took me a lot of explanation to say . . .

This follows the opening section posted two weeks ago to the Snapshot
Project, and awaits the final revisions to two acrostic half-sonnets which
originally ended the six-part, three-section serial work written while
viewing a videotape of Andy Goldsworthy's lecture at the National Gallery
of Art in Washington DC.
