The reason I mentioned Andy Goldsworthy was not for a discussion on taste but the fact that he was squeezed into a thread about Seahenge ,which was changed into one about dry stone walling when had nothing to do with the site and the only reason he was mentioned was to get a cheap gratuitous shot at him . A similar riposte could have been about , say Silbury and introducing Peter Gabriel , he did after all sing “Solsbury Hill “ who couldn’t get anywhere near a folk voice like Jeannie Robertson and btw is a moron who wasn’t fit to tie the laces of real singers like Gigli and Bjorling . (none of which is necessarily believed by the writer and purely illustrative )
There is however a tenuous link with Goldsworthy and archaeology ,Colin Refrew wrote an interesting wee book a few years ago , see below and Goldsworthy is interested in rock art , I believe he would know the real thing when he saw it .
