Potomac Rhythm 1979 Georgia Marble Lee Aks On loan from the artist |
For years, Aks’ piece, Potomac Rhythm, sat in a back lobby of the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia, but at Annmarie Garden it has been given a setting worthy of its form. Carved from a several thousand pound chunk of white Georgia marble, his piece undulates like a flowing river. The combination of multiplying ripples and smooth satiny surfaces embodies the varying nature of the Potomac River. Set amid a leafy backdrop, the black-veined white marble glows under the sheltering tree canopy. |

Equation Andrew Baxter On loan from the artist |
Baxter’s shield-like bronze piece called Equation sits propped on a tripod in the woods, as if the artist imagines the work as a bronze painting. Indeed, Baxter is known as a superb conservator able to create luminous patinas on old bronze sculpture. With Equation he has “painted” his bronze with the loveliest brown and copper tones. Baxter is fascinated with the idea of infinity and imagines his work as a depiction of something at the microscopic level, a limitless world where time and space meld. |
