Start Date

Abstract
I will present a quilt I designed and made for an arts based educational inquiry. I will share the creative processes (insight, data saturation, incubation, illumination or gestalt, verification) and exercises I used to arrive at a visual representation of my data: visualization and meditation exercises from master artists; Zen mindfulness exercises; exercises that sensitize the researcher to perceiving the shift from the left-brain to the right-brain. We will try some of these exercises.
