Heavens Painting

Kopácsi works with textiles, creating sculptural pieces on canvas which give new life to found objects and waste materials, moving them beyond obsolescence. Her work explores the connections between what we create and carry with us and what we try to leave behind. Themes of this connectivity with one another and our environment emerge from within the work. She is captivated by the idea of life beyond the observable surface, and with how that life can be revealed. Through her work, she seeks to explore the metaphorical connections between materials and our shadow selves: the hidden, unacknowledged aspects of our psychology that we try to ignore or repress. Using the archetypal motif of sewing, representing both the creation of something new and the repair of something damaged or worn, she confronts the excess of contemporary society while celebrating our potential for transformation and renewal. She seeks to capture the essence of these intertwined concepts, exploring the tension between decadence and beauty, questioning the ideals that shape our perceptions and challenging preconceptions to create work that reflects the complexity of the human experience.
