The British artist Richard Long, born in Bristol in 1945, is considered one of the most prominent representatives of Land Art. His work revolves around the artistic creative process as a means of contemplation.  The extended walks, collection of stones, drawing using the mud from rivers are all forms of a meditative analysis of nature. It is thus possible for the artist to create forms which leave an ephemeral sign of human creative energy in nature, whereas in the context of an exhibition, they represent a detail of the natural landscape.
