Richard Long — Somerset Turf Circle
Richard Long

Somerset Turf Circle

Richard Long's *Somerset Turf Circle* is a land art installation in which the artist has arranged or cut turf into a precise circular form, reflecting his longstanding engagement with the natural landscape of his native Somerset. The work embodies Long's characteristic practice of making simple, geometric interventions in the earth using only materials found on site. The circle, a recurring motif in his art, speaks to themes of time, place, and humanity's quiet, deliberate relationship with the natural world.
