Madelin Coit

In her work, Coit has produced numerous series across media, including sprayed-oil paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, installation, video projection, writing, performance, steel, neon, and shadow.

[1] Her work is in the collections of the State of New Mexico,[2] the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe.

[4] In 1971, she moved from Boston, Massachusetts to California to begin graduate coursework at CalArts Design School[5] and to pursue her creative work.

Coit works simultaneously in different media: drawing with graphite, engineered paper, reworked found objects, shadows, steel, neon, installation, performance and video.

The resulting work is created through a process layered, aggregated, and deconstructed materials to form a whole, which can then be erased, built upon, torn down, and reconstructed.
