The Season To Rest

The Season To Rest

Gail McCoy

McCoy’s beautiful, serene landscapes are paper collage. These art pieces start as images from National Geographic Magazines which have been altered with a acid solution which moves the inks around the page creating beautiful abstract backgrounds. The cranes, suns, moons and grasses are then hand-cut out of paper and then assembled into these tranquil scenes. The work symbolizes peace, hope, and healing. This 6’’ x 6’’ work is just the right size to also sit on a mantle or table.

About the Artist

Gail McCoy

Gail McCoy’s collages are created from pages of National Geographic magazines using an innovative process. She manipulates the ink on the page with a citrus solution. Then what was a realistic photo becomes abstract patterns of color and texture. She then sorts through hundreds of these altered pages to find the perfect pairings for a dynamic landscape.  McCoy focuses her work on cranes as they are a universal symbol of peace, hope and healing.
