Dear Martin,
Thank you for your message.

'..practice led research will continue to grow, evolve and contribute to
knowledge...'
Please could you say more about this knowledge.
I'm particular I'm wondering how you test that the knowledge is valid.
Especially, I'm wondering how you prove that it is not the result of
self-delusion by the researcher or design practitioner.
On a second point, I can see, as you wrote, that individuals have thoughts
and emotions directly from observing impressionist paintings and these are
associated directly with the paintings rather than being due solely to words
about the paintings. I'm wondering about how you teach - do you just point
and nothing else, so the students receive the knowledge directly from the
paintings? Please can you say more about this.
Best regards,
Terry
