* Ephemeral Works: Many of Goldsworthy's works are ephemeral, meaning they are temporary and meant to be observed in their natural decay. He often uses materials like leaves, ice, or mud, which decompose over time.
* Unrecorded Works: Goldsworthy might create pieces in remote locations, or they might be so simple that he doesn't formally document them.
* Continual Creation: He is a prolific artist who continues to create new work.
While there are countless documented sculptures and installations, the true number of his creations is likely far greater than any official count.
