Andy Goldsworthy's Spire

Spire and friends

Some years ago I photographed Andy Goldsworthy’s sculpture Spire. The 100-foot-tall sculpture was created in 2008 out of felled cypress trees in the Presidio. The image gives the impression of Spire sheltered and protected by a grove of tall trees. Spire was recently bady charred and damaged by an act of arson and its future is uncertain.
