Stacy Jacobsen
About

Stacy is a self-taught designer and artist. Born north of the Arctic Circle in 1991, she lived and worked in London and Berlin, among other places, before eventually settling in The Hague. A life shaped by repeated relocation informs her sensitivity to balance, instability, and adaptation.

Stacy describes her works as kinetic statements. She is interested in what can be balanced beyond conventional weights, and how meaning can emerge from load-bearing elements themselves. Structural components — wire, joints, counterweights — are not hidden but brought forward as active, expressive parts of the work.

The act of bending wire is central to her process. The wire is shaped during assembly rather than pre-formed, allowing the structure to respond in real time to weight, resistance, and gravity. This physical, iterative process treats construction itself as an expressive act.

Material choice is inseparable from meaning. She works primarily with reclaimed and repurposed materials that carry traces of previous use — copper wire from old electrical cables, discarded wood, rescue materials, and industrial remnants. Removed from their original function, these materials are reconfigured to form systems that echo natural growth patterns or return processed materials back into representations of organic form.

Her practice is grounded in the belief that material, structure, and meaning are inseparable.


One After the Other
One After the Other
is a layered mobile consisting of two connected sections — one larger, one smaller. It is built from spring steel wire and wooden spheres of beech and pine, varying in size. The sections are arranged “one after the other,” creating a rhythmic visual flow.

The mobile moves elegantly, responding to subtle air currents, and its layered composition allows for dynamic interplay between the two parts. Larger and smaller spheres interact, creating gentle, continuous motion that evokes the idea of sequential events, like one battle after another, in a poetic, suspended choreography.
