About
Why this artist matters now
Ann McCoy creates large-scale drawings, prints, and installations in graphite, ink, and mixed media that synthesize astronomical observation, archetypal symbolism, and abstract gestural mark-making. Her work emerges from postwar visionary traditions, layering cosmic imagery with intricate linear structures that suggest both cosmic order and psychic interiority. The artist's practice bridges drawing as a primary medium with printmaking and spatial installation, treating the flat surface as a site for celestial and symbolic investigation.
