Land Sea and Sky
Jennifer & Kevin McCoy’s collection, Land Sea and Sky marks the artists' debut collaboration with an NFT platform following the sale of the first-ever NFT, minted by Kevin McCoy in 2014.
Expanding upon their previous work with landscapes and the built environment, Jennifer & Kevin McCoy have devised a series of enigmatic collages embedded in the vernacular of the American West.
Using formal cut-outs inspired by the compositional aesthetics of 20th-century landscape photography, the artists have created a series of landscapes derived from five databases of AI-developed source images.
