'White Mud Circle'- Richard Long

 

Richard Long is known for his inspiration of taking walks through rural and remote areas in
Britain, to help produce sculptures and paintings using only raw materials such as, rocks
and mud. Long has created this piece using white mud which he poured to construct the
circular base shape of the design. He then wiped the mud to create the surrounding effect.
I find the idea of using natural materials very fascinating, especially as he has managed to
produce such a skilled and fine sculpture which I take much interest in.
