Sculptor, photographer and painter, Richard Long, interacts with nature and the landscape, forging his own conceptions of the relationship between people and their environment. In this book he presents a "mini-retrospective" of his walks, sculptures and conceptual works, charting his development and his current preoccupations. Some 100 records in photographs and text of his walks and installations from 1967 to 1997 form the heart of the book; the introduction by Alison Sleeman gives a concise account of Long's career and an assessment of his work; and in an interview, Long talks about his ideas, working methods and sources of inspiration.
