The aim of this thesis is to get a deeper understanding for the term “spirituality” in art and culture, as well as to understand how ideas from the esoteric field have come to inspire contemporary artists today. I am also interested in how contemporary artists make use of ideas from the esoteric field and how they perceive spirituality in their artistry. The study also explores how spirituality and the esoteric field in art is discussed by the academic fields. This thesis also makes use of the theory of “occulture” as an analytical tool in the study of ideas in art and culture by Christopher Partridge, to understand if occulture can be understood as an everyday and ordinary phenomenon in art and culture.

In this dissertation the tracing of a personal shift in consciousness is evidenced in my art production and through self-interrogation. Investigations into feminist theology proved resonant with a personal apostasy and provided a base for a feminine identity and language. The schism perpetrated by this pivotal thesis in the revisioning of women, its subsequent antithesis, motivated a search for synthesis. A scientific enlightenment in the field of quantum physics promotes the notion of a unified consciousness. Psychology investigates the realities of mysticism and exposes commonalities within eastern and western religions revealing a thread of unified metaphysical thought. The twentieth century has witnessed a radical in the art expression of the spiritual, some coincident with the revival of an interest in oriental art, and some as a manifestation of zeitgeist or collective consciousness. This past century of rapid technological change, clearly has its attendant spiritual shifting patterns. The process of creativity in art-making has proved to be a conduit for an evolving consciousness. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2000.
