Artist: Richard Long
“In the nature of things:
Art about mobility, lightness and freedom.
Simple creative acts of walking and marking
about place, locality, time, distance and measurement.
Works using raw materials and my human scale
in the reality of landscapes. The music of stones, paths of shared footmarks,
sleeping by the river’s roar.”- Richard Long
Reflecting on the work I am making and the work of sculpture artist Richard long, I have seen a relationship between the natural sourced medium and the mark-making.
Having moved to sand, away from graffiti and the way people personalize their properties. Instead, photographing the work/ markings in order to document it after it disappears…
I wonder how I could take the externally photographed mark-making in the world to the studio space in a more physical, perhaps interactive way?
…Sand inside…
