In The Messiest Drawer, we find clutter, tangles, precious knick-knacks - all the things we hang on to and the many stories they hold. As we unpack, rediscover, and reposition, memories bubble up and move us in many ways, from getting stuck in a moment to holding them dear to our hearts.
“A perfect double bill.”
