Fulton’s art contains a wide spectrum of ideas, but it has a clear foundation in the interest of preservation of the natural environment. In this sense, he has been influenced by the deep ecology movement and the ideas of Arne Næss – “simple in means, rich in ends.”
Fulton alternates between recounting and describing. Although Fulton experiences the walk firsthand, the walk texts and photographs and other media he presents in exhibitions and books, affords us the opportunity to participate in his experience.
Walking is The Constant. The Art Medium is The Variable.
His dominant mediums have for a long time been photographs, drawings, wall paintings and wall reliefs of wood, all of which contain a dated walk text. The notebook and the camera are his most important tools when on a walking journey. In the resulting artworks, the range of media and materials has broadened over time. Further, Fulton’s extensive production of books, smaller publications and mailing cards are an important medium for his works and ideas.
