Hamish Fulton's dedication to the journey of his many walks has sculpted a body of work that uses iconography, color, drawings, photographs, and text to document these voyages. Fulton began his walks, varying in duration and taking place all over the world, in the late 1960s where he documented his interaction and experience on each trip. Landmarks are depicted with specific colors and line drawings and photographs with accompanied captions offer site specific information from the journey. Bitten by a Dog: A Twenty Day Walking Journey from Dumre to Leder and back to Pakhara by way of Khudi, Nepal, early 1983 stems from a walk in the Annapurna region in the Himalayas which he called Twilight Horizons. This walk later became a book with text, photos, and drawings of which this image was included.

Other works by the artist are in the collections of the Tate Gallery, London; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and Philadelphia Museum of Art.
