Sunshine State
Ivette Spradlin

Released March 2025 Edition of 75 32 pages 148 x 210mm Saddle stitched Black and white/colour cover South Florida is a strange place for me. It is where I spent my early childhood. It was where my father and stepmother still live. I visit at least once a year. I haven't lived there in over 35 years but I dream of its landscape more so than any other. The murky canals and palms swaying. All the wild reptiles. As a child, I had so much fear of the natural world there. I still do. There's an energy there that radiates from the ground, something that feels so primal, so fundamental, that it borders on the supernatural. All images are stills from 8mm film shot around Tampa, Florida and a long kayak ride down the Hillsborough River in January of 2016. – Ivette Spradlin, 2025
