Richard LONG

Newlyn Circle < Newlyn Circle >

1995

Slate
Φ340cm
Richard Long has been creating works since the end of the 1960's on themes related to man and nature. He takes pictures of traces made by walking in a natural setting and creates installations by placing stones he has found in particular places, in a circle. This work is made by arranging stones in a circle, which he gathered when he went to Newlyn in England. The simple form reminds us of ancient remains, such as Stonehenge or stone circle, representing a certain act by the artist at a certain time in a certain place.
