Keaton Fox’s meditative installation reveals the best of Florida’s nature, indoors. Tucked in its own space within the FloridaRAMA Gallery, Quiet at Heart combines three wall- to-floor video projections of Florida’s stunning flora, skies and bodies of water with a natural soundscape and an actual sand floor to feel beneath your toes. It was inspired by Joy Williams’ essay of the same name and is meant to “encourage greater care and preservation of that state’s distinctive qualities.”
Fox is an artist from Florida, whose work “consistently invites viewers to collectively question the aesthetics shaping the fever dream that is 21st-century life.” Since 2011, her projects have won awards and have been exhibited and acquired by galleries, institutions, festivals, and museums, locally and internationally.
Quiet at Heart was made possible by a $5,000 FloridaRAMA Fund artist grant through Creative Pinellas. The installation is part of a group art show inside The Factory St. Pete. It runs through Aug. 30 and is free to view. An artist talk between Fox and Creative Pinellas CEO Margaret Murray and FloridaRAMA CEO Liz Dimmitt happens from 6-8 p.m. on Aug. 2. 2606 Fairfield Ave S, St. Petersburg. floridarama.art.
