Forgotten images and objects have ways of reaching us in incomplete states, laden with degraded facts, and out of step with their earlier selves, they yearn for resurrection from the consciousness graveyard. Imperfect Crystal brings together artists Ilit Azoulay, Joe Biel, Charlie Goering, Anthony Miserendino, Joel Otterson, Cameron Spratley, and B.

Thoughts and memories interject in vignettes dislocated from their makers and packed neatly into gridded cells, evoking comic strips, graphic storyboards and, of course, flags.
