For the debut Friends Fair, Northern–Southern presented a room withn a theme, the inevitable return of unstoppable life. More specifically, May in Central Texas. In the bathroom was a creek between the streets. In the main room: wild color, new leaves, odd stones, funny animals, and people doing their things.

spirit forms, continuous and ever-changing
& describes Alesi’s art and practice: flowing always to new forms and new reasons. Alesi works in a series:, each an era in a moment, marking the emotional time of the making. They seldom revisit a series. Alesi moves to the next one, and the next, and the next. And, and, and.

a solo show as a community
& is a Stella Alesi solo show as a community. Alesi invited four artists to contribute­—friends and those they admire from afar. All searching abstractionists, seeking to make a spirit material. Each artist balances rigor with freedom, finding the eternal in the moment of making: Momo, Michelle Marchesseault, Michael W. Hall, and Evan Horn.
