From the gallery:
“Adventure over to Art for the People Gallery to experience and collect the positive glow of Hallie Rae Ward’s beams. When you walk into the gallery, they will catch your eye as they radiate. Ward wrote a poem for each artwork and then wrapped each beam with colorful fibers to express the energy of her feelings, reflections, experiences, and affirmations. As you absorb the poems and colorful beams, they ebb and flow through colored light, creating movement and energy.
Go over to Art for the People Gallery to see Lightful by Hallie Rae Ward. Enjoy the body work and purchase a light beam to take home with you. While you are there you can peruse and purchase 100+ Austin Artists’ work between their artisan market and gallery exhibitions.
ARTIST STATEMENT – LIGHTFUL
I express my feelings, reflections, and affirmations through fiber, light, and poetry. During the continuous journey of bringing these positive glow light beams to life, I contemplate on the way I live and move throughout my life. We have many deep relationships with oneself, with others, our thoughts, our flowing intentions, our experiences, and our union with nature. By way of the human connection, we share our stories that narrate what we understand, the lessons learned, deep down what we believe, our true feelings, and our past, present, and future beings. I choose to contribute energy and communicate my insights through creativity and positivity.
The light has many forms.
It’s the light bulb in my head,
It’s the light we share with each other.
It’s the light I acknowledge within.
It’s the light I see naturally.
