Skyline Ridge is an artists’ book by Hamish Fulton consisting of seven black-and-white photographs and text documenting four connecting walks in southern England taken between 1971 and 1974.
Hamish Fulton, was born in London and studied at St Martin’s School and Royal College of Art. Fulton uses walking as a medium to interact physically with nature. His art, ranging from photography to maps, embodies his personal reactions to the environment of each walk. The essence of his work lies in experiencing specific events during a walk, like moonlight or birds, and communicating these through his art. Fulton insists his work is about personal discovery and perception of nature, not creating sculptures. His unique practice, spanning forty years and thousands of miles across 5 continents and 25 countries, involves recording experiences of landscapes without altering them. Unlike his peer, Richard Long, Fulton leaves no physical imprint on the landscapes he traverses. Instead, he captures his journeys through captioned photos or prints, which serve as mementos rather than documentation of the landscape or journey duration. These works, often accompanied by resonant texts, provide selected details or express his mindset rather than giving a complete description. Fulton's work, rooted in a deep respect for nature, stands as a silent critique against urban societies that estrange people from the natural world.
