Untitled
signed and dated 2009 to the reverse
River Avon mud on paper
21 x 14.5cm



Provenance:
With Haunch of Venison, London



Richard Long’s mud drawings are created by dipping paper sheets into wet mud taken from the River Avon, in his hometown of Bristol. Once dipped, Long displays the pages upside down, revealing the meandering fluvial streams, thinning as they reach the top of the page. Each drawing unique, the patterns created by the muddy runs mimic the sinuous course of the river, whilst the elemental material used invokes the primal spirits of our ancestors and suggests our enduring relationship with the natural world.
