I found the road through the AOL's at times like quicksand sucking me under drowning in self-doubt, then through the doubt, a realisation, a means to articulate something I knew I understood but couldn't quite conceptualise. Through the process of articulation, I came to understand both what I already knew and the next step on the path ahead, the next step of research. Which inevitable led to more doubt, more quicksand, more moments of articulation and more paths of research.
Reflecting on this process my mind wandered back to a blog Adesola posted 'Ways of Doing Art...' 04/11/19. At the time of first watching Tim Ingold's lecture I was deep in the world of AOL's but I knew I wanted to re-engage with it today with a slightly clearer mind.
So much of what is said chimes with the new paths I am finding to explore, below are three 'precious' gems which I wanted to share and explore later;
RESEARCH
RE SEARCH
literally means
SEARCH AGAIN
'Research is the pursuit of truth through the practice of
curiosity and care'
Curiosity - Care - Curate
come from the Latin Curare meaning to look after
It is this link between research and it's ethical
implications that is swirling around inside me waiting for me to find the
articulation to make what I know known.
My thoughts/questions
When research is embodied it has to be done with care,
there is simple no other way!
So, what does that mean for non-embodied research?
What are the practicalities of marrying the two in this
MA?
I'm off now for more Research to search again what I know
and what I don't know...
