This looks like a wall of mud. Thick, dark lines run straight up and down. The top edge is rough, like it was torn or scraped. The colors are mostly gray and brown, with a few lighter spots near the edges. The artist used real Mississippi mud and rubbed it onto paper. It’s not a picture—it’s the mud itself, pressed and dragged. The texture looks rough to the touch. Next, check out Richard Long to see how he turns nature into art.
