It's another weekend in San Francisco, this time in search for two of Andy Goldworthy's works in the Presidio. The first is the Woods Line, situated in parallel to Lover's Lane. I have heard that the name stems from when marines would come back from service and walk through this pass to reunite with their sweethearts. It's pretty cute.
The Woods Line, itself, is pretty cool. It blends almost seamlessly with the rest of the park, as if it naturally has always been there. Goldsworthy is known for his ephemeral environmental land art, so whatever he puts out in nature is meant to be a part of it. The destruction or decomposing is part of what makes it an on-going art piece.
The Spire lies right next to a golf course. At first looks like a dismantled tree, but as you come closer, it appears more alive as if the branch is stretching itself to reach the stars. There's some logs on the other side, probably where you can stare at the work and ponder about what kinds of things you're aiming for.
