Until recent catastrophic events, little attention was paid to the landscape and ecology of the American Gulf Coast, a hauntingly beautiful landscape undergoing rapid change due to human and natural forces. Acclaimed photographer Richard Sexton's evocative black-and-white images capture this often-overlooked terrain, throwing into haunting relief the marshes, forests, and bayous from New Orleans to Florida. Sexton focuses on the intersection between human culture and natural phenomena, creating a body of work attuned to cycles and the passage of time, loss and renewal. "Terra Incognita" is the first book to so strikingly illustrate the vulnerability, resilience, and splendor of America's third coast.
