Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In the early 1990s Andy Goldsworthy was invited to propose a project for Cumbria, a region of outstanding natural beauty where the landscape has been moulded for centuries by agriculture and in particular by sheep-farming. His response was to repair or rebuild a swathe of Cumbrian sheepfolds - with the intention that, wherever possible the folds would still be accessible to sheep.
Among the sculptures are slate works and balanced stones embedded in walls and a series of sixteen folds each containing a massive boulder rolled down from the nearby hillside. By 2006 over forty structures had been completed: it is this extraordinary project that forms the core of Enclosure .
This impressive volume is testament to Goldsworthy's lifelong interest in the land, its history and its inhabitants.
