"Cedric Harper’s work creates an immersive environment where artworks dangle from the ceiling, perch on low tables by the ground, and adorn the walls. The works aren’t physically large, but their presence demands attention. There’s no such thing as a casual walk around this gallery space. Visitors are pulled in by the magnetic force of each piece." — Celina Colby for the Bay State Banner.

On view through 4/15

Was on the edge of tears listening to them all last night. So much compassion, so much loving kindness in all their words: artists Cedric Harper (left) and Chick Byrne, together with Cedric’s artist/curator Carol Moses, at last night’s Opening Reception for both shows. Their love for each other, and for us all, hit me with the force of a embrace that still holds me. Art matters, but beyond words. This may be one of my favorite pictures (of many) I’ve taken @boscenterarts. #BosArts #BostonArts
