Richard Long – Dusty Boots Line Sahara 1988

” I like the idea of making something from nothing.”

” To make art only by walking, or leaving ephemeral traces here and there, is my freedom. I can make art in a very simple way but on a huge scale in terms of miles and space ”

” To walk across a country from coast to coast, for example, is both a measure of the land itself – its size, shape and terrain – and also of myself, how long it takes me and not somebody else.”

  1. Hello. Do you know where the orginal quote – ” To make art only by walking, or leaving ephemeral traces here and there, is my freedom. I can make art in a very simple way but on a huge scale in terms of miles and space ” – came from? – was it published in a book?

    Thanks
    Jen
