ABSTRACT
Locating and Encountering God is an attempt to integrate and reconcile methods of visualising and writing about God objects and figures across the disciplines of anthropology, theology and philosophy. I attempt to demonstrate that the author’s position regarding the presence, absence, or role of God does not have to be predetermined to begin a meaningful discussion about the ways in which the potential of God informs the social, spatial and temporal fabrics of our realities; thus informing our sense of self and location in space-time-matter. The attempt to grapple with this notion was made both in writing and in art; it is not that one accompanies the other, but that both attempt to realise something symbiotically.
