FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bobby Beals Presents…
Sacred Forms — Holly Hasson & Christophe Eagleton
July 31, 2026 | The Chapel at Bishop’s Lodge, Auberge Resorts Collection
One Night Only | 4–7 PM | Free and open to the public
SANTA FE, NM — Bobby Beals Presents… is pleased to announce Sacred Forms, a one-night-only exhibition featuring the work of Holly Hasson of Catori Life and sculptor Christophe Eagleton, taking place at The Chapel at Bishop’s Lodge, Auberge Resorts Collection, on Friday, July 31, 2026, from 4–7 PM. This special presentation brings together two distinct yet harmonizing practices, inviting guests into an immersive experience shaped by material, intention, and presence.
Hasson’s work through Catori Life centers on adornment as a personal and symbolic language—intimate, handcrafted pieces composed of natural stones, metals, and found elements that carry both weight and meaning. Her forms exist close to the body, balancing refinement with rawness, where each object becomes both ornament and artifact. In dialogue, Eagleton’s sculptural works in ceramic and bronze span a range of forms and sizes that occupy a more grounded physical presence—vessels, figures, and monolistic compositions stand with a quiet autonomy while also interacting with one another through light, shadow and spatial relationship. Each piece carries a meditative presence, grounding the space it occupies and inviting a return to stillness and inner stability, as if the forms hold an awareness of their own.
Together, these practices meet in a shared sensitivity to material and form—one intimate, one architectural—creating a quiet rhythm within the space. Set within the contemplative architecture of The Chapel, Sacred Forms invites a moment of pause, where scale, texture, and presence unfold in relationship to one another. Bobby Beals Presents… continues its commitment to creating environments where artists and audiences meet in meaningful ways, allowing the work itself to guide the experience.
More about the artists…
Holly Hasson
Artist Statement
My work draws from the ancient and the elemental. Desert bone and the waves of the sea, petroglyphs and relics, the eroded geometries of the natural world. Living in New Mexico, I am surrounded by a landscape that holds deep time in its very surface, and that sense of accumulated beauty moves through everything I make.
Each piece begins as an act of listening. Ancient motifs resurface, not as imitation but as memory. Forms that feel older than the maker, worn smooth by time and tide. Worked in precious metals and gathered materials, these jewels are meant to be held close to the body, intimate talismans that carry the weight of the elemental world. Jewelry is a private landscape, and these pieces ask to be worn not merely as ornament, but with intention as reminder. Of wildness, of beauty, of the sacred embedded in the natural world.
I work in fine metals, shaping pieces that function as wearable artifacts. Objects with presence, patina, and intention. Each one is developed slowly, until it feels both discovered and made.
These are objects of devotion, crafted to adorn and to inspire.
Bio
Devoted to a life of beauty, Holly Hasson has spent the past fifteen years living and raising her son in Santa Fe, and now moves between the ancient stillness of the high desert and the vibrant, effervescent pulse of Mexico City. Both worlds find their way into everything she creates. She designs each piece with deep attention to form, symbol, and material, working exclusively with reclaimed and ethically sourced metals, honoring the earth as deeply as the craft.
Known for her work with Catori Life, this collection marks a rare and intimate departure, a private body of work created exclusively for this showing.
Christophe Eagleton
Artist Statement
Eagleton’s work explores ancient, primordial forms that feel both timeless and deeply familiar. Rooted in the relationship between monolithic shapes and sensual, organic contours, his sculptures suggest a sense of felt presence and inner stability.
They function as meditative objects, grounding a space while inviting stillness, clarity, and a deeper sense of awareness. Often rendered in a restrained, monochromatic palette, the forms interact with light in subtle ways, at times softly reflecting it, at others seeming to draw it inward.
Each piece is shaped slowly by hand through an iterative process of building, layering, sanding, and refinement, resulting in surfaces that feel both elemental and precise.
Bio
Christophe Eagleton is a sculptor based in northern New Mexico. His work centers on minimal, sensual forms that evoke ancient, monolithic presences.
Working across clay, glass, and bronze, he creates pieces that range from intimate handheld objects to larger forms that ground and calm a space. His sculptures are intended as meditative objects, inviting stillness, clarity, and a deeper sense of awareness, with surfaces that subtly engage light through a restrained, often monochromatic palette.
Each piece is developed through a hands-on, iterative process of building, layering, sanding, and repeated refinement, emphasizing balance, form, and presence.
