Rich Mccoy

My creative practice is multidisciplinary, and I work off-grid while also engaging in arts broadcasting (with my community radio show and podcast HeARTh Tales by Rich McCoy) and advocating for the arts community. My background includes roles in product design and a former life as a creative director in advertising.

This portfolio presents a range of my artistic explorations, but my current focus is a return to sculpture. Through this medium, I critically examine humanity's growing detachment from the natural world and our persistent attachment to capitalist ideologies, fame, violence, and war – a confluence I perceive as leading us down a dangerous path.
