Halo Creation Process Gallery: Baylor Scott & White Irving Medical Center

The creation process for the "Halo" sculpture, a centerpiece of Baylor Scott & White Irving Medical Center’s revitalized entry lobby, was so compelling that it inspired a dedicated gallery exhibit. This display showcases Gabriel Winter’s concept sketches, offering visitors a glimpse into the artistic journey behind the iconic sculpture. Thoughtfully integrated into the lobby, the gallery enhances the experience of Halo by connecting its creative process with the finished work.


Design Approach

The gallery features a series of minimalist acrylic panels that elegantly present Gabriel Winter’s process sketches. Positioned in an accessible area of the lobby, the display invites visitors to engage with the evolution of Halo’s design while in close proximity to the sculpture itself. This juxtaposition creates a dynamic interplay between the artwork’s conceptual development and its final, ethereal form, enriching the viewer’s experience.


Key Features

  • Transparent Display: Simple acrylic panels highlight the sketches, maintaining a clean and modern aesthetic that complements the lobby’s architectural clarity.
  • Accessible Integration: Strategically placed near Halo, the gallery allows visitors to appreciate the sculpture and its creative process in tandem.
  • Celebration of Process: The exhibit celebrates the artistry and intentionality behind Halo, offering a narrative that resonates with patients, staff, and visitors.

Impact

The Halo Creation Process Gallery transforms the lobby into a space of inspiration and reflection, bridging art and architecture. By showcasing the sketches alongside the sculpture, the display underscores the thoughtful design process, inviting visitors to connect with Halo on a deeper level and enhancing the welcoming, healing atmosphere of the medical center.
