🎨 Art Lovers 🎨 Do Not Miss this exhibit at GMA: Gadsden Museum of Art 👏

Patricia Boinest Potter and Jesse W. Akers will display "Patterns in Time: Becoming... Being.. Disappearing" between November 1st, 2024 - January 3rd, 2025. The exhibit's opening reception will be held TOMORROW (November 1st) from 4 - 7 PM.
--

We comprehend time as Actual and Virtual layers of energy connected by a fibrous force of motion—the Möbius Twist. The Actual is surface, the Virtual depth. It all comes together through a vast immanent network where similarities and differences overlap to explore time’s composite but fractal nature.

Looking into spaces between, into interiors of erupting moments, we create a space that might be a revolving door in the mind.

Viewing art is experiencing the space between the gaze and the work as a space of resonance and correspondence. We ask you not only to view the work but to collaborate with us on its completion—to connect to your deepest sense of vision.

Not only do we ask you to look and study each side, THE ACTUAL and THE VIRTUAL, but to see the connections between the two and envision ways in which these might become portals in Time.

Stepping into the Installation is to become a part of it as it becomes a part of you—to be inside the patterns: becoming... being.. disappearing.

Our Story

The Greater Gadsden Area and Etowah County are unsurpassed in natural beauty! The majestic Coosa River flows through the very heart of Gadsden as well as four other communities in the county: Hokes Bluff, Glencoe, Rainbow City and Southside. The Coosa River and H. Neely Henry Lake are home to regional championship fishing tournaments as well as being used for recreational boating, kayaking, and fishing. Noccalula Falls, a 90-foot waterfall named after legend of Princess Noccalula, sits inside the Gadsden City limits on Lookout Mountain. Both a scenic Park and Campground sit astride the waterfall, which can be viewed for free and requires a short walk on sidewalk to get to.
