Abstract
This essay analyses to what extent James Hampton's The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations Millennium General Assembly expresses Jungian ideas around art, vision, religion and ritual. I will be referencing previous academic writing on Hampton's work, placing it in its proper historical and cultural context as part of the wider canon of Southern folk art and African-American religious practices. I will refer to Jung's own writing and secondary sources interpreting his ideas, around the themes of religion and the transformative nature of artistic creation. A Jungian analysis of this work will demonstrate how valuable psychoanalytic theory can be to interpreting 'outsider art', particular those pieces inspired by religious experiences.
