Australian visual artist [https://tanjastark.com Tanja Stark] explores themes of ''Suburban Gothic and the [[Sublime (philosophy)|Sublime]] Divine'', drawing from a background as a [[Social work|social worker]], [[Domestic violence in Australia|domestic violence]] counsellor and upbringing in the [[Baptists|Baptist]] church.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Stark |first=T |date=15 March 2022 |title=tanjastark_artist |url=https://www.instagram.com/tanjastark_artist/}}</ref> She often approaches theher genrecreation through a symbolic lens, and sees the genre of suburban gothic as influenced by [[Psychoanalysis|psycholanalytical]] ideas of the [[Analytical psychology|Jungian]] [[Shadow (psychology)|shadow]], and the parts of domestic life that lie beneath conscious awareness. Her art explores these [[Unconscious mind|unconscious]] desires and feelings and their powerful influence on waking life, particularly when they are associated with serious or repressed [[Trauma trigger|trauma]]. In accordance with Jungian ideas, where the 'shadow' is not acknowledged or integrated, but is repressed, projected or inflated, the darker aspects of the psyche may emerge in ways that can be dangerous or destructive to mental or physical well-being of the individual and those around them, a key tension in Suburban Gothic art. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Lecture: Suburban Gothic and the Sublime Divine, Tanja Stark for C.G.Jung Society of Queensland |url=https://jungqld.com/events/dec-2021/tanja-stark/suburban-gothic-and-the-sublime-divine/ |archive-date=12 December 2021 |access-date=13 March 2022 |website=C.G.
