Prey for Us: Ebb and Flow at Archaic Marco Island by Merald Clark, 2016. MIHS 2016-27-011.
This unique open air exhibit presents 23 full-sized faux windows and doors that frame vivid scenes from Marco Island’s pre-history to modern day.
Each interpreted scene tells a story and illuminates the unique history and qualities of Marco Island and its peoples through the ages. Stroll through Windows and Doors and view a Mastodon on the Marco savanna, Calusa ceremony at moonrise, Margo the Mermaid, and more.
Original artworks for Windows and Doors to History were created by artists John Agnew, Paul Arsenault, Merald Clark, Muffy Clark Gill, Tara O’Neill, Jarrett Stinchcomb and Malenda Trick. Their mission — to portray Marco Island moments in time from the Ice Age to modern day in collaboration with the Historical Society’s curator of collections to ensure historical accuracy.
