Annie MacDonell’s exhibition The Beyond Within at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, organized by curators Crystal Mowry and Leila Timmins, is a journey that traces routes through her interest in the history of psychedelics and communion. Her works point to the personal, artistic, therapeutic, and worldbuilding potentialities of psychedelic experience.

The exhibition opens with nine 8.5″ × 11″ photographs depicting the interiors of rooms in which psychedelic trials took place. The layout of the research spaces is uncanny; the rooms all contain pieces that mimic domestic space—a cosy couch, comfortable pillows, a coffee table, a warm blanket, a woollen rug—as though following a prescribed list.
