| History |
Richard Long Richard Long (b. 1945, Bristol, England) studied at West of England College of Art, Bristol and at the St. Martins School of Art, London. Longs use of walking as an art form was introduced as early as 1967. Initially he documented his walks with texts, maps, and photographs. He began making new types of mud works using handprints applied directly to the wall in the 1980s. In later years he also constructed large lines and circles of stones, slate, and sticks, collected on his walks. In 1976 he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale with an installation in the British Pavilion made of marble selected from an Italian quarry. In 1986, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum organized a major exhibition of Longs work from the 1970s and 1980s. In 1989, he was awarded the prestigious Turner Prize in London. He lives in Bristol, England.

The material used was charcoal retrieved from a Baptist church (white congregation) struck by lightening. The day of the opening of my exhibition at Artpace there was news of a Baptist church (black congregation) that had been burnt by arsonists. I was struck by the uncanny symmetry between the two events. It occurred to me if the opportunity arose in the future that I could make a companion piece/diptych for Mass (Colder Darker Matter) using material from a church destroyed by arson. The pieces would appear to be identical; the only difference being the circumstantial history of the site residing within the work.
