Brooke and I went on a canoeing expedition with Andy Goldsworthy.
Brooke is my brother-in-law; Goldsworthy is the Scottish artist best known for stacking rocks into gravity-defying cairns on the shore of seas and lochs, stitching leaves together with thorns to make an improbable brocade of natural colors, and painstakingly freezing ice arches over streams on chilly highland nights. Many of his works exist only as a photographic record.
Goldsworthy joined our trip in spiritÑand that was full participation indeed, as it turned out.
