Art Funded by you

The Wet Road

Richard Long, 1990

Long's work has for many years been concerned with text which alludes tangentially to his experiences of his walks. The spectator in the gallery, looking at this work, can suddenly and subtly be taken outside, experiencing the meaning of space as we know it from walking it, marking the landscape with our passage.
