About the Artist: Stacy Seiler is a multi-disciplinary artist, journalist and design educator based in New York City. As an effect of a Traumatic Brain Injury sustained in 2019, her work made a dramatic shift from precisionist architectural charcoal drawings to mixed media collage and sculptural forms that intertwine found 19th century photos with poetry, objects from nature, fibers and antiquated tools. As a form of self-healing, each collage explores the emotions that follow the loss of identity and ability experienced with Traumatic Brain Injury. What remains consistent between both bodies of work is her desire to reconnect the lost history of a person, place or era, by using visual metaphor to suspend the viewer between past and present, before and after. Stacy’s work has received features in Drawing Magazine, Photo Trouvée Magazine and the Boston Globe, and has been exhibited in notable institutions, including Sotheby's, The Gould-Guggenheim Estate, Swiss General Consulate NY, The National Arts Club and The Painting Center. In addition to her art practice, Stacy is the Art Editor of IRK Magazine, Paris and an Assistant Professor of Design Strategies at Parsons School of Design. Stacy earned her BFA with a minor in Art History from the Maryland Institute College of Art and her MFA from Parsons.
