Richard Long

On his travels throughout the world Richard Long creates sculptures on different landscapes. The images of his work show the different places he has been to on his journey. Looking at his work he seems to use materials naturally found in areas he is creating art in.

A lot of his sculptures have the words line or circle in the name of them, this made me think of journeys because most journeys might be a 'line', say to work but the returning journey makes it a 'circle'.

I like the idea of using found objects while travelling, for my work I could objects that are found in urban settings where I travel like rubbish.
