Stacy Neff is a glass artist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, celebrated for sculptural expressions inspired by nature and geology. Her artistic journey began at the Rhode Island School of Design, where her bachelor's degree provided the necessary technical skills and conceptual framework to explore the depth of glass as a medium, and her focus on blending organic forms with meticulous craftsmanship. Neff's artwork unfolds across various series, each conveying a distinct sculptural interpretation of natural and geological imagery.  Notably her "Biomythology" series, which employs movement within glass forms to depict diverse features such as plants, lending a gestural, almost animalistic vitality and fluidity to her compositions. While primarily recognized for her glass art, she also works with other three-dimensional media, including stone, steel, clay, dirt, and cement, exploring their tactile and expressive qualities. Neff views her artistic process as an act of creation and reflection, aiming, as she says on her personal website, "to make art that is both a mirror to reflect reality and a hammer to shape it," encapsulating her intent to observe, represent, and actively influence perceptions through her work.

The artist biographies for Witness Nothing were collaboratively written by curatorial interns Julyet Carillo and Elisa Leyva, with the oversight of Henry Schulte Assistant Curator of Practice. The content was compiled from a variety of sources, including personal websites, institutional biographies, critical essays, artist interviews, and exhibition texts. A comprehensive bibliography of all sources used is provided below. It is important to note that Gemini, a Google AI, was utilized in the editing process to condense and refine the initial drafts into more concise paragraphs, using the prompt: "Use the following information to shorten each artist bio to one paragraph.”
