Chantal Powell

(b 1977, United Kingdom. Lives and works in West Dorset)

Powell's work reflects our personal and collective unconscious. Using her background in psychology; as well as myths and metaphors; she creates sculptural works that attempt to show the unseen parts of our psyche. The materials and processes she uses reflect her research into alchemy; saying: “Alchemy serves as a metaphorical representation for the process of transformation of the self that Jung called individuation - a journey that re-establishes a connection between the conscious and unconscious.”
