Doing research is a process of discovery. Just as working on an artwork leads to discoveries.
As the research unfolds, the researcher is guiding along to new worlds.
Letting the work take its own path, but also guiding it.
* Art: Allowing the paint to make mistakes and working from the mistakes. Working directly from the results of the painting moment by moment. Make a mark. Observe the mark. React to mark by making another mark. Observe the mark made. React to that mark by making another mark…
* Research: Find one resource. Read the resource. Let that resource guide you to another resource. Read that resource…
Finding. Discovering. Adding. Collecting.
Research:
1) Finding resources.
2) Discovering resources.
3) Adding more resources.
4) With more resources constantly being added, the scope of the collection of resources change.
Art:
1) Making art.
2) Discovering the result of painting one section.
3) Add more painted sections.
4) With more painted sections constantly being added, the scope of the painting may change.
Finishing.
