And now time out for more blogger playtime. You will recall that our U.P. neighbor Kathy held a scavenger hunt on Opening the door, walking outside—wherein the team of Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I were first to return with the required items, thus winning the prize for being on time, which set people to laughing uncontrollably from one end of the Township to the other. Now another blogger has won the prize for creativity, and I encourage you to visit Flandrum Hill to see what a really determined person can do to create beauty from, er, found objects.
Artist Andy Goldsworthy has carried the arrangement of natural materials “where found” to extraordinary heights. We’ve discussed his work before on Torch Lake Views, in the comments that followed Stone Castles on the Bay. You’ll understand, then, why I present this first-ever TLV Goldsworthy Award to Flandrum Hill.

Gerry, I am moved. It is both an honour and a privelege to receive this prestigious award. I’d like to thank Centria for the challenge, Goldsworthy for the inspiration and last but not least, the bunny for its contribution. Thank you. Thank you. 🙂 🙂 🙂

You are very welcome. Note that one of the advantages of the TLV Goldsworthy Award is that it is on perpetual display for visitors from around the world but will never have to be dusted.

Have you seen “Rivers and Tides” about the work of Andy Goldsworthy? I just randomly picked it out of the netflix offerings and loved it. You should try to rent it if you haven’t seen it.

Haven’t seen it – linked to a really good review of it on that Stone Castles on the Bay post. Maybe I will do Netflix. Maybe first I’ll rent a box at the EP PO. We must discuss the turnaround time . . .
