Stacy Levy

Stacy Levy is an eco-artist who works with environmental processes and delves into the intricate nature of water in its many forms. Using a blend of sustainable design and ecological concepts, she harnesses the ephemeral changes of tides, flow, seasons and weather, revealing the hidden dynamic of rivers through sculpture. Her installations, like Tide Fields (2018) in Pennsylvania’s Schuylkill River, showcase the six-foot tidal fluctuations in minute-by-minute action. In Diatom Lace (2023), Stacy captures the delicate patterns of micro-algae living in New York’s East River, celebrating their forms in the concrete paving stones for the East Midtown Greenway. Recently, Stacy unveiled Tide Flowers(2022), a captivating water installation at Brooklyn’s Domino Park, which visually registers the rising and falling tide on the East River. Through her artistic congruity, Stacy bridges the gap between science and art, between the static nature of sculpture and the fluidity of water. Her work brings the wonders of the natural world to an urban environment and connects us to the rhythmic cycles of nature that we often miss.
