Hallie Packard’s work is a study in contradictions. Her work manages to live in a singular world while exploring both a gleeful kitsch as well as a powerful conjuration of nature’s most rarified spectacles. Her work speaks to growing up in the outdoors and being beguiled by the mystical chaos of nature and our place and time within it.
Packard’s most powerful works are when she paints the effects of light in nature. There may be rainbows, but they are not referenced like children’s odes to happiness, but the magnificent power and resplendence of light. It is in Packard’s depictions of captured light that reveal a deeper, spiritual sense of wonder at the natural world. The impossible beauty of the mundane world catapults us into the realm of the numinous- the luminous glow of light refracted into rainbow colors like an oil slick across the curve of a soap bubble, the ice of a diamond twinkling in a landscape, or the glow of a rainbow captured in the stormy grey swirl of a tornado.
“FLUXFIELDS explores a world beyond the existence of humans, where the natural world once again rules and thrives. Traces of human existence remain, however, often taking on lives of their own or interacting in new ways with the natural world and its creatures. As I am fascinated by light and natural phenomena, I often find myself daydreaming about how these might evolve and function on a future (and fantastical) Earth, in a time when things have shifted in ways we cannot begin to understand or foresee. In this new world, bubbles, crystals, and prisms are sentient, light refracts and loops in full spectrum, and nature is empowered. There is a calm sense of hope and harmony that is balanced by the dark beauty of destruction––integral to the cycle of life. I seek to further understand what it means to be alive by expressing my deeper feelings and emotions as visual metaphors through my paintings. I hope to remind viewers of the magic that exists all around us on our beautiful planet and the respect and care it deserves.” - Hallie Packard 2024
