February 23, 5PM – 8PM • 25 Central Square, Seaside, FL
Mark Little | THE SEA
Join us Friday, February 23, 2018, from 5PM to 8PM for the opening reception of THE SEA at 25 Central Square, presenting works by Mark Little. The reception will follow a dedication ceremony for the Vincent Scully mural on Friday, February 23rd at 3:30 p.m. on the green adjacent to the south-facing wall of 25 Central Square and will coincide with a book signing and paella dinner at 45 Central Restaurant at 5 p.m.
The tribute to Scully will be given by Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Dean Emeritus of the University of Miami’s School of Architecture. The book signing at 45 Central is hosted by Sundog Books and The Seaside Institute to honor the 2018 Seaside Prize recipients and Seaside’s pioneer architects: Deborah Berke, Ernesto Buch, Walter Chatham, Robert Orr and Alexander Gorlin. Vincent Scully was an art and architecture historian and Yale professor revered for his ability to explain the innate relationship between architecture, urbanism and the environment to the mainstream. He inspired future architects with the idea of reconnecting contemporary architecture with its past, thereby planting seeds that grew into the New Urbanism.
About the Artist
Photographer Mark Little is an artist whose work has been inspired by the landscapes of Scenic Highway 30A and its costal new urbanist towns. Little spent his childhood summers in Walton County before moving to the Emerald Coast from California in 2009. When asked about his fine art modern style, he responded, “I love clean lines. I don’t really like taking photographs that draw your attention to more than one thing. Clean, basic, and full of open space. I don’t want anything about my photographs to feel cluttered.”
The fine art photographs in THE SEA exhibition capture the hidden wildness of our beach waters and the surrounding beauty of its park preserves. “I love photography and I love being the ocean. So, one day, it dawned on me I should get the camera in the water. Being in the water and feeling the current, reading the break, waiting for sunlight, all of it was just a needed connection that I didn’t have on the land. In the water, you are a guest. It’s wild out there.”
