Tom's email is very helpful to me as it introduces me to the language that will help me express what I have been fumbling for when I requested DRN members to talk about drawing as a tool. Thanks!
Incidentally, those who have engaged with this thread: I would be glad of any references to your own reports or articles on what has resulted from your use of drawing as a tool.

Subject: Re: DRAWING-RESEARCH Digest - 4 Jun 2011 to 5 Jun 2011 (#2011-85) - Drawing as a Research Tool
It may be of interest to DRN members that I am currently working with Birmingham City Council on a funding bid to support a city-wide community-based project in which drawing will be used instrumentally. The project would facilitate drawing workshops with disengaged adults in marginalised communities thereby enabling them to better understand themselves, the different others around them, and the urban cultural milieu in which they live. We are thus proposing to use drawing as an explicitly cognitive tool for increasing social cohesion.

Subject: Re: Drawing as a research tool
Hi
I am using drawing as a tool to understand the haptic experiences of surgery, and have been working with medics in the field of maxillofacial and ophthalmic surgery. The work is going towards developing drawing activities that will support medical education developing motor and visual skills in micro surgical techniques.

Great idea, NIna!
I use drawing to understand how people conceive of scientific phenomena
(e.g., molecular bonding, chemical reactions, the sun-earth system), how
they invent symbols for abstract things (e.g., phylogenetic relationships),
and to understand and support scientific argumentation through learners
building scientific models.

Hi All
This is a really interesting string. I am particularly interested in the e pistemic potential of drawing – how we acquire knowledge through drawing things. It would be great to have some links to your work.

Hi Marianne,
Consider looking at the narrative possibilities in mis-en-abyme--"placing
into infinity."
The following link will give some sense of it,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mise_en_abyme
Otherwise ignore..

Hi Marianne
Following on from venatuis's suggestion there is a mirror/mirror
instillation at the new Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate. Not
sure who the artist is, but may give you some inspiration
