Macy Cook
B. 2003
Artist biography
Macy Cook (b 2003) is a jeweller and painter based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington), whose practice is shaped by her background as a professional dancer with the Royal New Zealand Ballet. Movement, discipline, and form continue to inform her work, translating into organic, sculptural pieces that explore the tension between fluidity and structure. Drawing on the natural cycles of erosion and growth in Aotearoa, Macy reflects on how landscapes—and people—accumulate layers over time. Her handcrafted, one-off works embrace imperfection and irregularity, highlighting individuality and the quiet complexity of lived experience.
Macy is currently completing a Diploma in Industrial Design, Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa, Massey University in conjunction with a diploma in counselling with Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors. She has been instrumental in the development and co-curation of this exhibition.
