ANDY GOLDSWORTHY - En las entrañas del árbol

Standing inside one of the large domed wood spaces of Andy Goldsworthy (Cheshire, England, 1956) can be an incredibly charged experience. There is something powerfully unnerving, both physically and emotionally, about first entering into these cavernous rooms. Constructed with tightly packed branches and tree trunks, which admit little or no daylight, the darkness can be disorientating, the eyes taking a short while to adjust. The wood can feel oppressive and heavy as it looms around and overhead. Built to be entirely self-supporting, or with a minimum of fixings, the seeming implausibility that these structures stand amplifies that initial frisson. And yet, there is also something distinctly comforting about the primal nature of these domes, induced at least in part by their light smell or their strange warmth. They offer an intense experience of interiority, which, beyond any initial hesitancy, can yield a real sense of reverie. Even a brief stay inside can re-attune our instinct for our natural material environment, which is so often dulled, mediated or sanitized.
