artist statement -
"Through mixed media collage, Stacey Burgay physically manifests feelings and emotions not conveyable through words. Process is integral to her practice. She absorbs her environment and surroundings by collecting found materials to use in conjunction with painted papers and her own photography. She adds, removes, and excavates papers and layers of paint to construct new narratives that evoke emotion. 

Formations -

Shaped by time, pressure, and the elements, these forms explore transformation and resilience as slow, unfolding processes. Inspired by geological formations, the work considers how change often goes unnoticed—like the rocks we pass each day without a glance. Yet when we pause to look closely, their endurance and quiet evolution reveal stories of becoming. Built through layered surfaces, found materials, and intuitive, emotive gestures, the piece mirrors the same gradual forces that shape our lives."
