Richard Long is a renowned sculptor and land artist who is particularly celebrated for the incorporation of nature in his work. Long’s biggest inspiration for his work is the natural environment that he has found himself walking among – his materials are often sourced from the walks he has taken, such materials include wood, stone and slate. Asides from his installations, Long is known for his photography or maps of unaltered landscapes that he has frequented – these displays are often accompanied by texts detailing the location, and the date and time of the walk he has taken to visit such locations. One of his most famous works, Small White Pebbles, is on permanent display at Liverpool’s Tate museum. (Artist website)
