Atlanta, GA ~ Arts for All Gallery at VSA arts of Georgia presents PACE, a highly personal project created by local artist Hadley Breckenridge. The one-woman show, consisting of more than 300 photographs, documents the artist’s experience of traveling throughout Atlanta on foot and using public transportation. PACE continues on view for the public for seven weeks, through Friday, June 20, 2008.
Ms. Breckenridge is a fine art photographer who holds an MFA in Photography from Georgia State University (2005) and a BA in Photojournalism from the University of Southern Mississippi (2002).
“I wait for trains, buses and other rides. Sometimes it takes up to an hour and a half to get somewhere that would otherwise take 15 minutes by car. I have no control over the delayed sense of time that I experience. Life seems to be eaten away with this constant waiting.” ~ Hadley Breckenridge
