Natural Intelligence, Lisa Sette Gallery’s first show of 2026, considers nature as a timeless creative source, endlessly generating mysterious and infinite meanings. Jan. 10-Feb.28, 2026

JANUARY INVITATION Mayme Kratz Eclipse 5, 2025 resin, bones, The Sea Ranch shells, wasp gall, Texas laurel seed, horse tooth 24" x 24" NI: Natural Intelligence Group Exhibition Exhibition Dates: January 10 – February 28, 2026 Opening Reception with artists: Saturday, January 10, 2026 1:00 - 3:00pm NI: Natural Intelligence, Lisa Sette Gallery’s first show of 2026, considers nature as a timeless creative source, endlessly generating mysterious and infinite meanings. This is in stark contrast to the closed digital systems of AI–while the purported “intelligence” of large data sets is circumscribed by the limits of human experience and technical capacity, nature’s systems are universal and exist primarily outside of human comprehension. In fascinating forms and unexpected materials, the artists of NI: Natural Intelligence offer us poignant and intriguing pathways into the enigmatic domains of nature and the ever-expanding cosmos. Lisa Sette observes “In contrast to AI, nature is intelligent far beyond human speculation. These artists focus on the inherent beauty and intelligence of the natural world as a solace in our fraught world of plastic and screens.” Featuring works by, Kim Cridler, Ala Ebtekar, Carlos Estévez, Máximo González, Timothy Horn, Alan Bur Johnson, Michael Koerner, Mayme Kratz, David Kroll, Marie Navarre, Beverly Penn, Benjamin Timpson, Frances Whitehead and Xawery Wolski, NI: Natural Intelligence opens with a public reception on Saturday, January 10 and continues through February 28, 2026.

Eleanor Harwood Gallery is pleased to announce a solo show with Carmen McNall in our Project Space. Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, January 10th, from 5-7pm.

Carmen McNall: Unbound Passages in the Project Space Opening Reception Saturday, January 10th, 5-7pm On view January 10th - February 28th Eleanor Harwood Gallery is pleased to announce a solo show with Carmen McNall in our Project Space. Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, January 10th, from 5-7pm. Unbound Passages is a series of paintings that explores thresholds—doorways and portals that open into spaces of refuge, freedom, and continuity. These passages are not fixed in time; they move fluidly between past, present, and future, echoing ancient architectural forms that have long served as markers of transition, protection, and arrival. Throughout the work, vessels, hands, and interior spaces function as holders of knowledge and memory. Architectural forms suggest a living library, safeguarded by caretakers entrusted with carrying wisdom forward. Quilted and woven, net-like patterns appear as visual structures of connection and protection—systems that bind, support, and hold. Vessels and figures are adorned with recurring symbols and offerings, embedded within layered pattern and texture, reinforcing the work’s focus on nurture, guidance, and healing. Female figures anchor the paintings as embodiments of strength, confidence, and feminine energy. Faceless yet assured, they exist as both personal and collective presences—echoes of ancestors and guardians. Their hands act as conduits between inner and outer worlds, emphasizing the body itself as a vessel of memory, intuition, and care. Unbound Passages ultimately invites the viewer into a contemplative space—one that honors transition, remembrance, and the quiet power of those who protect what cannot be contained, only carried forward.

Her practice relates directly to the handmade in both subject matter and execution, opening a dialogue on the relationship between people, their environments, and what inherently fastens us to our surroundings, examining the empowering qualities these places retain. The faceless figures in McNall’s work resemble Goddess like muses as they rest in dynamic yet effortless poses. Each one embodies strength, confidence and wisdom alike. They rest within their own elements, surrounded by tranquil interior landscapes that inhabit both ancient and futuristic realms. Through her work, McNall explores the body as a vessel, a container that carries us through life, using both literal vessels such as vases and containers, as well as human forms. She investigates all that is held within our worldly form: memories, tension, energy, healing properties, intuition and how all of these aspects manifests into movement.
