Richard Long was born in Bristol, UK, and attended the University of the West of England's College of Art as well as St. Martin's School of Art and Design in the 1960s. Early in his career he became involved in the emerging concepts of earthworks and land-art. Long prefers to work with natural materials such as leaves, stones and mud outdoors or in the studio.
In his work "Cornish Slate Ellipse" Long focuses on the use of natural media to create an artificial structure. His objective is to explore interactions of nature with man-made environments. "I like the fact that every stone is different, one from another, in the same way all fingerprints, or snowflakes (or places) are unique, so no two circles can be alike."
