Waterloo Mistletoe Stop – Mistletoe in Motion
Heather Kocsis reimagines mistletoe through sacred geometry and playful, tactile design. The result is a joyful celebration of wonder, connection, and shared moments.
Meet the Artist – Heather Kocsis
Heather Kocsis is a professional artist based in Cambridge, ON whose sculptural and architectural works explore space, form, light, and sacred geometry.
Heather brings extensive experience designing complex, conceptually rich works that combine storytelling with technical precision and craftsmanship. Her practice is deeply rooted in creating encounters that encourage people to pause and reflect —with one another and with the natural environment.
The Mistletoe Trail provides an opportunity for Heather to bring her work into the public realm, offering a playful yet contemplative sculpture that celebrates community, curiosity, and shared experience.
About This Mistletoe: Mistletoe in Motion
Heather’s Waterloo mistletoe transforms space, form, and light into a whimsical yet profound piece.
Shaped by sacred geometry, the sculpture blends industrial-strength materials with tactile, organic textures and iridescent tones that catch and reflect light throughout the day. Its kinetic centrepiece moves with wind and natural elements, creating a dynamic, ever-changing experience.
The mistletoe creation also offers a contemporary symbol of unity and shared moments, inviting visitors to pause, wonder, and feel connected to one another and the world around them.
About the Location: Mistletoe Lane
Tucked beside McCabe’s Irish Pub & Grill, Mistletoe Lane transforms a hidden Uptown Waterloo walkway into a cheerful holiday corridor. Draped with garlands, glowing lights, and bright red ribbon, this festive alley sets the perfect stage for Waterloo’s stop along the Mistletoe Trail — with this year’s mistletoe installation adding its own sparkle to the space.
