Richard Long

In todays's lecture, we discussed 'How to finding ways to lose yourself ?' And also teacher gives us some artists and these works. I quite like one of  these called "A line made by walking" by Richard Long.
                                        Richard Long  A Line Made by Walking 1967



In 1967, Richard Long, then a student at St. Martin's School of Art in London, walked back and forth along a straight line in the grass in the English countryside, leaving a track that he then photographed in black and white. This work, A Line Made by Walking, was not only the starting point for Long's career as an artist, but also a landmark for a new kind of art emerging in Europe and the Americas.

And how to being 'lost' I think walking travels is a good way, equally important being 'lost' also is the way to generate ideas.
