Here's an article that I just came across that might be of interest to the

Abstract: There is a substantial body of literature on arts-based forms of
research demonstrating scholars¹ endeavors to theorize the production of the
arts as a mode of scholarly inquiry and as a method of representation.
However, if arts-based research is to be taken seriously as an emerging
field of educational research, then perhaps it needs to be understood as a
methodology in its own right. This entails moving beyond the use of existing
criteria that exists for qualitative research and toward an understanding of
interdisciplinarity not as a patchwork of different disciplines and
methodologies but as a loss, a shift, or a rupture where in absence, new
courses of action un/fold. This article proposes an understanding of
arts-based research as enacted, living inquiry through six renderings of
a/r/tography: contiguity, living inquiry, openings, metaphor/metonymy,
reverberations, and excess.
Cheers,
