4. Richard Long
In the nature of things:
Art about mobility, lightness and freedom.
Simple creative acts of walking and marking
about place, locality, time, distance and measurement.
Works using raw materials and my human scale
in the reality of landscapes.
The music of stones, paths of shared footmarks,
sleeping by the river's roar.

5. Aboriginal Art
• Walkabout refers to a rite of passage during
which male Australian Aborigines would
undergo a journey during adolescence and
live in the wilderness for a period as long as
six months.
• In this practice they would trace the paths, or
"songlines", that their ancestors took, and
imitate, in a fashion, their heroic deeds.

6. Aboriginal Art
• According to Aboriginal belief, all life as it is known today can be
tracked to the Dreamtime or the era of Creation.
• During this time, their Great Spirit Ancestors undertook many
amazing journeys that criss-crossed the vast country of Australia in
a maze of tracks.
• They performed feats along the way, which established the natural
formations of the Australian landscape as it is seen today.
• The events of this distant time have been passed down in the oral
tradition of folklore and are still enacted in ceremonies that include
dance in mime form to the accompaniment of clap sticks.
