Is it clear whether "in phantasy" in the following text refers to "the damage done to the mother’s body" or "a repairing of the damage done to the mother’s body"?

Of course, there have always been artists who found Klein’s theory of reparation, in which art is situated in terms of a repairing of the damage done to the mother’s body in phantasy, crucial to thinking about the rationale for their art practices, but these therapeutic leanings were not taken seriously in an art discourse informed by critical perspectives on the nature of representation and mediation.
She strikes again. If I were you, I would read Klein so that I knew what this "theory of reparation" is, because this writer assumes you already know. But looking at it logocally, you'd have to suppose that any damage done to a person's body would be no "phantasy", leaving only "a repairing of the damage done to the mother’s body".
