SoBay Cultural Arts Festival *  February 18, 2012/7PM * Deering Estate * 16701 SW 72nd Ave.  Miami, FL

 

 

*This work addresses the history, energy and ecological importance of Florida’s waterways and the Everglades in particular via references to historical and supernatural anecdotes associated with the wetlands around the Deering Estate, a spot where ancient voices still linger over the landscape.  This project is created in celebration of the restoration project currently underway at Deering that is restoring the natural slew on the property to its original form.

Using historical imagery from the Estate’s archives as well as the Florida Memory Project, the artist will construct a multi-media installation presented in both the exterior and interior areas of the Estate.
