Larain Briggs is a British artist whose work explores trauma, transformation, and the complexities of the human psyche through a multi-disciplinary, introspective approach. Grounded in Jungian analytical psychology, her work explores personal and collective crises and how they interrelate.  Through analysis of emerging symbols in her paintings, installations, and digital media, Briggs challenges perceptions of reality and illusion to facilitate the process of individuation. Briggs responds to the complex, transitional, and anxiety-provoking times in which we live that present previously unknown challenges for humanity. Adopting an autoethnographic approach in her research, she explores how artistic practice and engagement can help process trauma and promote emotional resilience and well-being. She is currently undertaking a Doctorate in Fine Art at the University of East London. Born in 1960 and residing on the East Coast of the UK, Briggs completed her BA (Hons) in Fine Art (Painting) at Camberwell College of Art in 1990 and a PGCE in Art and Design at Goldsmiths College in 1994. Additional studies in Computer-Aided Visualisation at Anglia Polytechnic University, Analytical Psychology, and Art Therapy further enrich her practice.
