Book Description: In 'The Walking Artist', Hamish Fulton documents his peripatetic self and its relationship to the world through which it moves. Fulton born in London in 1946 initially studied sculpture, but in 1969 he turned to an artistic activity based on walking. Since then he has continued to occupy this utterly unique position within the field of contemporary art, marking himself as a visionary and a true original. Fulton's work consists in walking across various landscapes, and 'The Waling Artist' documents various ''walking pieces'' of his from over the years, from the early 1970s until the present day. Included are walks through terrain like hills, mountains, and forests, in area as diverse as southern England, Peru, Bolivia, northern California, central Australia, Nepal, Japan, Baffin Island in Arctic Canada, and France. The physical involvement of walking creates a receptiveness of the landscape. I walk on the land to be woven into nature... The character of a walk cannot be predicted. A walk is practical not theoretical... Walking into the distance beyond the imagination...Walking is the constant the art medium is the variable. Hamish Fulton. Clothbound hardcover, 11.75 x 9.5 inches, 168 pages, 78 color and 33 duotone illustrations.
