‘Getting Into Her Habit’ is an exhibition of works created by the artist-researcher Harri Hudspith (Religion and Theology department) as part of their doctoral research into the writer and mystic St Teresa of Avila. Through an emulative and practice-based approach drawn from Teresa’s own mystical practice, Hudspith’s work looks to develop a closer understanding of the psychological role of language in Teresa’s mystical experience. Emerging from this imitative and embodied approach, the works in this exhibition detail the encounter between these two practices, one artistic, one mystical, and explore the unfolding psychological landscape Hudspith encountered through the threshold of Teresa’s texts.
