Jung has said that there is a feminine quality to creative work, as it arises from the unconscious… Show more depths - the matrix of life where instinct and  archetype intermingle. This paper will inquire into the nature of creative  process through the particular lens of the artwork and creative trajectory of Kiki Smith, one of the most intuitive and influential artists of her  generation. Smith’s work draws spirit into a bodily feminine narrative on a number of levels – through materials, method, style and content. Her  intensive process transfigures this  convergence of spirit and body into an  extraordinary array of symbolic forms,  exemplifying a singularly feminine mode of creation.
