I see the world as I find it..as a plan and as chance.
A sculpture,a map,a photograph;all the forms of my work are equal and complementary.The knowledge of my actions,in whatever form,is the art.My art is the essence of my experience,not a representation of it. ('Richard Long:Books,Prints,Printed Matter'.Exhib cat New York Public Library,New York 1994)
I like to see art as being a return to the 'senses'. (An interview with Richard Long.Roger Cork in 'Richard Long:walking in Circles'.Exh:cat Soutn Bank Centre,London 1991)
