Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College will showcase the works of Dr. J. Marcus Weekley, Perkinston Campus language arts instructor, in an exhibit called "Parallels" April 2-24 at the Malone Hall Gallery on the Perkinston Campus. A reading by the author will be included in the opening reception for the exhibit on Monday, April 6, beginning at 6:15 p.m.
"Parallels" showcases three large wall quilts, miniature quilts and more than photographs by J. Marcus Weekley. Through the media of the quilt and the photograph, and the combination of the two, Weekley explores how the physical represents the spiritual. His work (and the exhibition) relishes in the textures of life, whether they are illustrated through a maple’s bark, a textile’s seams or power lines juxtaposed against the sky.
