Delabole Slate Circle

Richard Long

I find this guy fascinating, with his use of natural materials, often in situ and often site specific. This one however, is in Leeds Art Gallery. This Cornish slate has been quarried since the 17th century - the oldest slate quarry in the country.

Leeds Art Gallery is doing a bit of a retrospective at the moment, documenting items from its permanent collection and acknowledging the history of the gallery. There are rich pickings to be had and a stroll around for an hour or so was time well spent.
