Hi Fides,

Excellent question… in our project we are looking to use a visual artist and probably drawing or some other visually artistic medium such as collage (but not photography). For some context, the interviews are with family members who have recently consented to a relative’s organs to be donated after sudden death, and recent organ recipients. So its a sensitive topic and we are trying to surface the embodied relationships with these processes “beyond the obvious” - our current strategy of asking them to associate to a number of interesting images of the body and organs isn’t generating useful data (which is of course useful in itself I guess!)

Thanks for your engagement :)

Hi Sam,

I'd guess the answer depends a little bit on your definition of 'artist'... Are you specifically referring to what's generally meant by 'fine arts'?

For example, when does a photographer become an artist? How 'artistic', or even, how skilled, how experienced, how knowledgeable in/of photography would they need to be, in order to be an 'artist' in your sense?

I think this links in with an earlier discussion.

Sorry, not trying to digest from your topic, just trying to get enough clarification to work out what sort of material would qualify as an answer to your question... :)

Cheers,

Fides

Dear AACORN hive mind,

Can anyone recommend one or two publications specifically pertaining to
the use of an artist in qualitative research interviewing? I feel sure I
have seen articles on this but my searches and my own database is not
coming up with much, which is confusing me...

What we want to learn more about is the process of involving an artist as
facilitator or translator of interview transcripts (or sitting in the
interviews even?) into artistic texts for further reflection.

Thanks so much for your help!
Sam
