Halley’s Comet design works on display
The Destin Library showcases Halle Castille’s vibrant and often whimsical artwork throughout September.
Halle is the one-man show behind Pensacola’s Halle Comet designs. Her work is often interdisciplinary, merging different art forms such as 3D printing, painting and sculpture to create new styles.
In her latest work, she is examining the dichotomy between more general notions of good and evil, light and dark, male and female. The underlying energy behind these collisions is the driving force behind her art.
Learn more about Halle on her website at hallescometdesigns.com or contact the Destin Library at 850-837-8572 or email library@cityofdestin.com.
