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.
THE FALL
The Fall is a kinetic sculpture inspired by the form of a willow branch and the idea of continuous falling. The work draws from a personal memory of a traumatic fall in the mountains, translated into a form that constantly tends downward without collapsing.
The materials are integral to the piece: reclaimed copper wire from old electrical cables, rescue blankets obtained from mountain rescuers, and recycled cardboard used as a structural base.
