Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

Andy Goldsworthy's works are preserved through the act of documentation. Since his art is often made from natural materials and is meant to change over time, Goldsworthy photographs his creations at different stages of their existence. These photographs serve as a way to preserve the ephemeral nature of his works, allowing them to be experienced long after they have naturally decayed. Additionally, some of his works are also preserved through the use of non-perishable materials, such as stone or metal, which allows them to remain intact for longer periods of time. Overall, the preservation of Goldsworthy's works is a deliberate and integral part of his artistic process, allowing his ephemeral creations to be appreciated and remembered for years to come.
