Series of 7 paintings 1992-1994

'In The Depths Of The Divine'
Acrylic Megan Clay 1992
 I am an artist and feminist theologian studying for a PhD at The University of Winchester. My art is based in my experience as a female child and woman within the society I have been brought up and now live in. If I am to define what subject area my art sits in then it would be female subjectivity supported by a body theology narrative which is based in and is one of the multiple strands of feminist liberation theology.
These series of paintings are part of a therapeutic process of discovering the feminine language of the body which is what I would call a body narrative. This is a personal/political approach from a feminist theological perspective to explore ways of developing language for the feminine that cannot be found within the language of patriarchy.
