In the downstairs gallery at Fringe Exhibitions, the McCoys presented Scary Things whose images come from simple elements of nature that can be frightening to children.
This sculpture uses a similar technique of tiny cameras, sculptural miniatures, and acrylic text, but here the terrain is one integrated platform. Although the sculpture contains only ten words, hundreds of sentences are created, forming a reduced poetry of fear: “Dogs are fighting scary things” or “Lost birds are scary”.
The projects for this show at Fringe Exhibitions represents a new step for Jennifer and Kevin in which they explore both narrative and linguistic elements, examining the shifting solidity between images and their names.
