Arts-Based Research

Art-based Research can be described as a set of methods chiefly focused on the various divisions within the arts, such as music, visual arts etc. Therefore ABR would be involved throughout the research process, which would include “data generation, analysis, interpretation, representation, and presentation” (María E.

Skinning the Cat/ Research

I have been researching the various methods in which I could approach my research in order to integrate my poetry as a fundamental part of my work. My initial though was to further develop and investigate Translation using the interart mediums of jewellery and poetry. However, through my holiday research, I have found that there have been previous works which have included poetry as central part of research.  Some of the studies which I have come across have chosen to explore the use of poetry within academic research as follows: Poetic inquiry, Art-based Qualitative Research, Autobiographical Writing, Narrative Inquiry, Performative Research, Poetry as a Research Method, Ekphrasis, Autoethnography as Research Method, Poetry as a Process and a Product of Research, Practice-based and Practice-led Research, Inter-Art Research, and Interart Translation.  Proving there truly are countless ways to skin a cat, and in my case that there are many ways to approach research. ...

Reasoning

Understanding that I will not be able to use the Bible as a primary reference for my academic work, I do however want to use it as inspiration for my poetry writing and jewellery designs. Using my previous work as reference, I had found that the subject matter which I most related with and was more passionate about, were the ones which had allowed me to create my stronger pieces such as the caged bird series and the living grave . I cannot think of anything I feel more passionate about and have written more about than God.
