In the 1960s, Long began to merge walking and art, sensing that time, the energy of place, and the human body as measurer and sensor can combine to create a work of sculpture. As this documentation of his recent work shows, the resultant sculpture is often a circle of stones (in the Andes), a line upon the Earth (Bolivia), or a mud painting on the wall of a gallery. Many of Long's works combine simplicity of form and natural materials, often suggesting archaeological ruins. Unfortunately, the text does not adequately discuss the obvious physical similarities or the differences, namely that Long's works are not integral to community life. Indeed, they are often remote, located far from the contemporary community's physical or spiritual center. The book is nonetheless handsomely presented and thought-provoking.
