Richard Long


I am looking into the work of Richard Long, simply because he is an artist that I have always admired, yet not had the chance to look into in detail. I like the way that he takes predetermined walks through the countryside and makes works as he goes along. These works are always made from natural materials. This is something close to my own heart as I try to use and take reference from nature as much as possible for my own work.
I like the way that he incorporates natural form in sometimes unnatural patterns, for example perfectly straight lines.
I am going to look in more detail at Richard Long’s work for my ‘Outside The White Cube’ project.
I have included here an image of Long’s piece entitled ‘Tame Buzzard Line’.
