Display caption
'If in doubt. Keep walking'. Hamish Fulton added these words to his series of prints called Ten Toes towards the Rainbow.
The title refers to ten seven-day walks
he made in the Cairngorm mountains in Scotland. Fulton sees seven as a magic number, and it recurs frequently in his work. Here it appears in the 'rainbow' of the title: rainbows have seven colours, while the word itself has seven letters.
This series is more romantic and
pastoral than much of Fulton's earlier work. Titles such as Song Path evoke
his observations and emotions during these long, solitary walks.
