Richard Long

I recently saw this piece at Liverpool Tate and it instantly popped into my head when I was sitting in my space. I am interested in the idea of natural stone being cut, re-arranged and re-defined by man. In a way we claim ownership over many of natures materials simply by manipulating them to fit a purpose. In doing so I think that man and nature combine in construction and technological advances, in that new structure and form cannot exist without the collaboration of the naturally occurring and the man-made.
