Kacey Ziegler

Bio

Kacey Ziegler grew up in Northwest Florida, spent most of her 20s in New York City, and landed in Kansas City in 2020. She holds a BFA in Illustration from Ringling College of Art and Design, and her work spans several mediums, including clay, wood, fabric, and sequins. She is a Belger Studio renter, frequently found working in her space on nights and weekends, making functional and sculptural work. Her ceramic work has a neoclassical bend and is rooted in a drawing practice that references ancient craft and art works from across the globe. 

Artist statement

My work is inspired by silhouettes from ancient ceramics across the globe, botanical materials, and elements from classical architecture that are filtered through generations of revivals, renovations, and revisions. I am seeking to bring the familiar but stoic architectural forms down to our level, in scale as well as function, to stretch what they are capable of. I work with both care and spontaneity, striving to create beloved timeless objects to be lived with.
