Small White Pebble Circles- Richard long
1987

He first became well know in the 70s due to his epic walks, which he would create art from long walks sometimes lasting days, and would from stone circles to paining with mud in the 80s.  He would walk and produce art from it. The work always looks natural with one sculpture or other sort that he had made. A lot are circles made from wood and bits he had found on this walks. He has walked to some of the most remote places to make his art.

His other works also included sculpurs such as Small White Pebble Circles which isnt what Im looking at.  

This is what I want to take from this artist. Im interested in his process on how he conducted his art more than his work he produced. I want to use the theme of walking as an influence to my work with how I will conduct my comparison shoots. This also links back to Vivian Maier, who would walk in Chicago and New York when she was working there and looking after the children she was a nanny for.
