Four Prisons (commission for LES Hotel)
A monumental four-part geometric abstraction, this commissioned work embodies Halley's signature visual language of interconnected cells and conduits rendered in vivid acrylic and shimmering metallic pigments. The textured Roll-a-Tex surface lends a tactile, almost industrial quality to the boldly flat, hard-edged forms, evoking the social and architectural systems that regulate modern urban life. Created specifically for the LES Hotel, the work resonates with the dense, structured energy of its Lower East Side surroundings.
