Terra Cognita - Urban Jungle
Andy Sewell
The Heath
Hampstead Heath was once part of London’s rural surroundings. Today it is a green oasis in the midst of a busy urban landscape. Andy Sewell regularly wanders in The Heath in search of nature, fully realizing that the area was shaped, and is maintained by the hand of man. His series THE HEATH is an investigation of what, precisely, nature is, but also of what the American biologist E.O. Wilson called ‘biophilia’ – the attraction you feel to the natural, without knowing exactly why.
