OPENING RECEPTION: SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 2017 – SIX TO NINE PM
// Exhibition on view MAR 11 – JUN 11, 2017
Li Huai presents a varied array of work for her solo show You Fascinate Me!
Going places and seeing things is always stimulating, intimidating and rewarding – whenever one does it. It makes me aware of myself and forces me to learn from others on various meaningful, complicated and playful levels. The mechanisms of connection, disconnection, reflection and reconfirmation are intensely intimate and fascinating. Wandering around recharges my world and makes me want more. – H
