An esoteric interpretation of decay seems to have always been at the core McCoy’s creative process. His last monograph of collages, WOUND, focused on the human’s impulsive desire for self-destruction. This new body of work, a collection of black and white ink drawings, depicts corpses, architectural chaos and ‘alchemical transmutations’.
