  • Ravel by Krista Dedrick-Lai – Opening Reception

    Chimaera Gallery 3502 Scotts Lane #2113, Philadelphia, PA, United States

And the more we try to tease the mess apart and get everything back in order, the more jumbled it becomes. In the end there is no reweaving the unraveled tapestry, not really. There is simply taking the threads you have at your feet and starting again.
