"This website for Light Dancer Art is a place for connection between you, the sculptures of feminine energies that you'll see on these pages, and me, the artist who brings them into form. As you visit each image, I invite you to take time to see through the eyes of your heart. Feel the deeply unique qualities each sculpture embodies. Connect with your own inner sense of those qualities and receive the gifts of transformation they offer."— Faye Bates
what I do, one part of my answer is that I'm a sculptor who works in bronze. However, the most exciting part is that, as a sculptor, I get to do something really extraordinary. Presently, I have the honor and joy of allowing a series of divine feminine energies to come through me into physical form.
feminine energies wants to come through my heart and my hands. The first to come in was Blessing Woman, purely from inspiration, without a mental image or drawn sketch for reference. Intuitively molding the clay, I simply allowed her intention to come through.
that it was her choice to appear in form. All I had to do was apply the materials, use the tools and allow her to flow into clay without inserting my own mental constructs of what, who or why. This unobstructed process allowed her to manifest fully as who she is.
that Blessing Woman had a divine purpose--to bless and assist us in our process of transformation. I also became aware that the eleven other divine energies that will join her have an equally powerful purpose for coming into form. Truth Speaker, the second feminine energy to come through, offers her transformational gifts of deep truth.
of the heart and, throughout time, its powerful qualities have served to uplift and transform us. Be in your heart now and quietly listen. Feel the energy and powerful gifts of these divine women. They are here, coming into form to assist us. I simply make them physically, tangibly available and help find their places in the world so that humanity can receive their gifts and they can fulfill their intention.
and co-creative process of Spirit now coming through my heart and soul in this way is a true gift, and the larger purpose of my life. In turn, the pure and inspired creative process that facilitates the desire of these energies to appear in physical form and assist us through their amazing transformational power is a great gift to the world.
to sculpt and create, holding the space for this intuitive co-creative process, which is grounded in light, moved through my heart and manifested in the world for its own reason: to anchor light and assist us in vital ways in our own transformation.
