NINA SUREL’s Allegory of Florida

This monumental wall relief is made up of over 100 pieces of stoneware ceramic, kiln-fired locally at the nearby Collective 62. Surel’s mural imagines Florida as a goddess of feminine fertility, unifying the human, animal and vegetal universes under a single creational myth. Complete with references to native flora and fauna such as Herons, Coonties, Florida Beauty berries, Seagrapes and Cocoplums, the work underscores the esoteric connotations and interconnectedness of our local ecosystem. Presented by Spinello Projects
