The prints in this portfolio are related to a series of seven-day walks Fulton took in the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland between 1985 and 1993. Walking has been his primary artistic practice since the early 1970s, a period when many artists questioned the need to create object-based art. His walks often cover territory he has traversed before to gain a greater understanding of the place under different conditions. During his walks he makes notes and drawings which can become the source for text or photographs, such as you see here. He aims to promote greater respect for the environment through his work; the Cairngorm Mountains are some of the last wilderness areas left in Britain.
