Abstract

Within the canon of Australian art history there has been a clear tendency to repress issues that emerge when artists explore religious and spiritual subject matter. Art history, like other disciplines, enjoys the subjectivity of its cultural framing and shares a common tendency in our culture to silence speech about religious or speculative discourses.
