In Realms Beyond the Visible, Rachel Cope’s solo exhibition at Massey Klein Gallery, the artist invites viewers into liminal dreamscapes where light and form are constantly shifting. Anchored by motifs like prisms, swans, and spectral dwellings, Cope’s paintings explore transformation, vulnerability, and the threshold between physical and spiritual realms. Her background in sculpture and Art Therapy informs her tactile approach—layering translucent acrylics and fine pencil over clay-coated panels to evoke an ethereal glow. Inspired by esoteric philosophies, Cope’s work radiates both presence and impermanence, offering glimpses into worlds just beyond perception.
