Six sections - Earth, Seed, Root, Branch, Leaf and Tree - each include extracts from the artist's working diaries.
Wood culminates in an intimate revelation of the relationship between the artist and a particular corner of landscape in his home territory. A vast, ancient oak tree provokes rich responses as the seasons ebb and flow. The Capenoch Tree is a triumphant expression of the strong impulse now evident in Goldsworthy's work to allow one work to lead quite directly to the next, for the dismantling of one sculpture to be the first stage in creating a new one.
Woven through the book are intriguing glimpses of a ballet, Végétal, in which dancers build, dismantle and rebuild versions of Goldsworthy's sculptures on stage - a collaboration which draws fascinating parallels between dance and the process of making sculptures.
