Laura Ball

Laura Ball’s work combines her technical achievements in watercolor with an ongoing part-psychoanalytical, part-environmental project she has explored for over fifteen years. She takes the kernel of the origin myth, as explained by Joseph Campbell, and digs into the subconscious, inspired by Jung. Starting with the collective unconscious of shared dreams, archetypes and memories, she makes work that will speak to the viewer in a deeply familiar arena to ignite the desire to protect the endangered creatures and the diminishing biodiversity on our planet. Her watercolors weave a tangle of threatened animals and plants from across the globe.
