Seeing Nature consists of seven large bronze animals sitting directly on the wall surface, all gazing towards the pedestrians walking past. Each of the four locations features a single animal or grouping of animals that are native to the Surrey area, including a fox, rabbits, otters, and a bear. With all animals quizzically staring towards the viewers on the ground below, the work offers a challenging perspective to the visitors and shifts their pre-conceived notions about familiar animals and humanity’s relationship to the natural world.
