In a sense, this show will be historic for In-Town, since it will be their first show offering prints. McCoy’s “Man Made” and “Woman Walking”, for example, will be offered for sale as prints. These figures are drawn with tiny figures in such a way that the shape is made from so many of them that it suggests the idea of a fractal.

Fractals present an aspect of chaos theory—that an underlying order may exist within apparently chaotic phenomena.
