Larain Briggs

Harwich
Painter with a multi-disciplinary, process-led approach, undertaking practice-based research towards a doctorate in fine art.

My multidisciplinary practice is grounded in psychological inquiry and focuses on transformation and symbolic expression. Informed by Jungian analytical psychology, my work explores how creative practice facilitates individuation and integration. I respond to personal experiences of fragmentation and disconnection.

I work across painting, drawing, film, digital media, assemblage, and installation, employing layered materials and symbolic imagery to create spaces that reflect destabilisation and dissociation. Meaning unfolds through making.

I am currently undertaking a Doctorate in Fine Art at the University of East London. I live on the East Coast of the UK. Previous studies include a BA (Hons) in Fine Art (Painting) from Camberwell College of Arts and a PGCE in Art and Design from Goldsmiths, University of London, complemented by studies in Computer-Aided Visualisation, Analytical Psychology, and Art Therapy.

Lived Experience

I’m based on the East Coast of the UK.  My daily life is closely intertwined with my art practice, which I approach as both research and a way of being in the world.
