Hamish Fulton focuses on one major thematic complex in his art: nature and man’s experience of nature. Over the past 30 years the artist has been undertaking extended walking tours on the world’s five continents. Using drawings made during these tours, he later processes the respective experiences in his work. He aims to find a generally valid form for the primal and direct relationship between man and the earth in all its diversity.
