Origin and Consequence – The Art of Larain Briggs

Last Modified January 4, 2019 Leave a Comment

Artist Statement

My work has for many years been inspired by Carl Jung and exploring my subconscious. I work through painting, assemblage, digital art, and installation, employing various strategies to access animus, the shadow, my elan vital. Through creative expression, I attempt to create the inner reality of my psyche. My work acts as a mirror where I try to see my soul – the inner workings of my mind. It transcends persona and barriers to connect with my true self where I hope to reconcile internal conflicts and heal myself. It would be impossible to communicate these aspects of my psyche verbally. The work is full of symbolism and archetypes which I believe are viewed in turn by the viewer in an unconscious manner. I hope that this will also be as therapeutic for the audience as it is for myself. I invite others to have a glimpse of a mind that is often troubled, anxious and depressed and to find empathy and understanding for people who are suffering from mental illness. I hope to touch the soul of anyone viewing my work. My work varies in style and is mostly influenced by the work of other artists, my mood, and environment. Recently Rauschenberg’s Combines have inspired me to create pieces that incorporate painting and assemblage, sometimes recycling art that I created some time in the past.
