Quantum Being-Galactic Beauty acrylic 2009
This image depicts the quantum cosmic body of the feminine. This symbolises the sexual and spiritual connection which is not just about sexual relations rather it is the place of power for seeking justice and right relation in the world and the cosmos. We are quantum beings and are beautifully and wondrously made and evolved. Energy flows in and out and around us, in fact we are energy.


                                                                  Sexuality/Spirituality water colour 2009

Whether it be the primordial void, earth’s deep schisms the ocean or women's bodies in these depths lie the deep longing of her desire.
The connection between heart and vulva demonstrate the centre from which I operate as woman. This is what gives power and voice to who I am in the world and what activates me in my life, this for me is dunamis the raw erotic energy of the divine within.

Female Child Christa 2008
This image shows my crucified child who has lived within the locked secret place of her sexual/sensual world. Travelling through life and relationship that echo this experience unwittingly which became the key to bring these childhood experience to consciousness where I found art as my creative channel to express those experiences. This form of creativity becomes my body language a way of speaking what is felt at a deep level. 

Invitation to the Cosmic Dance 2008
This image shows through the vibration of colour the females co-creative presence within the bigger cosmic picture. She is floating on the cosmological sea of always becoming yet each stage is lived in and enjoyed in the time it takes within that process and holding each tension, as they present themselves in a dance of both mystery and uncertainty.

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.
