Long was born in Bristol , and studied art there at the West Of England College Of Art from 1962 to 1965, and graduated from St Martin's School Of Art in London in 1968. Several of his works are based around Walk s that he has made, and often consist of photographs or maps of the landscape he has walked over. Sometimes the landscape would be deliberately changed in some way, as in ''A Line Made by Walking'' (1967), and sometimes sculptures were made in the landscape from Rock s or similar found materials and then photographed. Other pieces consist of photographs or maps of unaltered landscapes accompanied by texts detailing the location and time of the walk it indicates. A permanent installation is on view in the main lobby of Hearst Tower (New York City) entitled ''Riverlines''. Completed during the summer of 2006 and the biggest wall work he had ever made - about 35 x 50 feet (11 x 15 meters).
