Richard Long
English sculpture
Photographer and Painter
Contemporary land artist.
Long's work is influenced by nature and solitary walks he takes, in his piece 'A line made by walking' he simply walked back and fort down a a trail of grass till he imprinted a single straight line on it and photographed his results.
I like this way of working, its simplistic and does not require much apart from the maker and his camrea, which links in to nature being simple and basic.
The black and white toned down colour of the photography highlights the line nicely as it disappears into the dark woods, which appear dramatic with the dark tones.
