God, gods, myth and facts

In my B.Tech work I had explored the idea of using two interdisciplinary art forms in order to depict/ translate my chosen bridal narrative. I had focused my attention specifically on artists who had applied the same concepts such as Erismann, who had done so through collaboration with other arts.  In a report I recently came across I found an example of Interdisciplinary Collaboration which occurred between poets and scientist in order to experiment with poetic inquiry within the science field. This involved the exploration between of the differences, similarities and incompatibilities which existed between the two fields (María E. Fernández-Giménez, 2018); this will be something I would also have to take into consideration when conducting my own research using poetry and jewellery as my bases for inquiry into my theme. 

There are various ways in which a researcher could adopt the use of Poetic Inquiry in research such as writing a poem based on the qualitative data which has been gathered through interview transcripts. The researcher would then write poems based either on the research process, the participants, or collaborate with the participant to write the said poem.  According to Faulkner poetry “…embodies experience to show truths that are not usually evident”, it offers research a unique portrayal and expression of the human condition; which ultimately allows for new understanding of any given subject or theme as inquiry forces the researcher to reflect on the entire research process. (María E. Fernández-Giménez, 2018) 

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. Fernández-Giménez, 2018).
