Scarlett Platel (b.1987) is an artist living and working between London and Edinburgh.
Platel assembles concepts and images as they emerge from the complex legacy of psychoanalytical and spiritual thought. Using photography, moving image and sculptural elements she reconstructs potent symbols and primitive shapes, blending them with a more perverse understanding of the everyday. With their glowing, dreamlike quality, Platel’s work seems to allow the psychic collective a country side to roam, where mundane objects are illuminated with a subtle prescience, sometimes sinister, at other times sublime. Central themes to her research and visual inquiry encompass directing her attention towards the lost internal objects that at once enable and constrain the dynamism of psychic movement. These “objects” can be found throughout the world in the form of the symbolic archetype, in myths, religions and dream work.
She is a recent scholarship graduate from the MA Fine Art Photography program at The Royal College of Art and also holds a BA in Critical Fine Art Practice from Brighton College of Arts and a Foundation from Falmouth College of Art.
