Hamish Fulton: Keep Moving, Hamish Fulton, 2005
Fulton, born in London in 1946, is along with Richard Long, an artist whose work reflects and reflects upon his walks. In Bolivia, Argentina, Nepal, India, Tibet, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, France, England, Scotland, Wales, Wyoming, Montana, Alaska, Fulton walks, usually alone, camping along the way and taking photos and then creating art. Art is control, walking is freedom. Tracing the change in altitude, block printing key words, logging the distance and time are among his techniques. “I have chosen to record my walks out of respect for their existence.” Many wonderful ideas regarding my Rowe Hill Year, the one hour walks from 23 Willard Street, the walks from 23 Willard Street to 517 Bible Hill Road. Great new discovery.
