Andy Goldsworthy is known as a sculptor and environmentalist. He utilizes found objects from Nature herself and organizes them in such a way that blends beautifully within its surrounding landscape - as if it were a collaboration between mind and nature. Along with permanent sculptures that are propped up around the US and UK, temporary pieces also find their place, mimicking change - the shining constant of existence.

I dare you to check out the documentary!

Dances of the Planets

Take the orbits of any two planets and draw a line between the two planet positions every few days. Because the inner planet orbits faster than the outer planet, interesting patterns evolve. Each planetary pairing has its own unique dance rhythm. For example, the Earth-Venus dance returns to the original starting position after eight Earth years. Eight Earth years equals thirteen Venus years.  Note that 8 and 13 are members of the Fibonacci number series.

  • Earth:     8 years * 365.256 days/year  =  2,922.05 days                   
  • Venus:  13 years * 224.701 days/year  =  2,921.11 days (ie. 99.9%)

Watching the Earth-Venus dance for eight years creates this beautiful five-petal flower with the Sun at the center. (5 is another Fibonacci number.)

The Bat that flits at close of Eve

Has left the Brain that won’t believe.

The Owl that calls upon the Night

Speaks the Unbeliever’s fright.
