Goldsworthy?

During one of my classes while I was stumbling I came across Swiss artist Sylvain Meyer.  Her work is considered land art which emerged in the United States in the late 60's and early 70's.  When I first saw her art, I immediately thought of Andy Goldsworthy and how similar their work is.  They both use all natural materials with nature being the backdrop.  "Sculptures are not placed into the landscape except in the sense that elements of the landscape actually become the sculpture."
