On the track with Richard Long

Juliet Miller tracks down the artist to try and discover how his work has the power to ’get inside’ the viewer where it can stimulate powerful feelings and connections with the natural world. The writer explores her own responses to this artist and considers the ways in which great art can affect us all. It is not a theoretical book in either a psychoanalytic or art critical way and will appeal to those interested in Richard Long’s work, in contemporary British sculpture and in how to talk or write about the feelings we may have when relating to an artist.\n\n\nRichard Long writes about On the Track of Richard Long: “I feel a connection with Carl Jung. In some ways he was also an artist, he made striking and original images ahead of his time. It’s always a pleasure to encounter a fresh point of view – not from the art world – that reveals things to me about my work which I may not have considered myself”
