Chris,
Another resource worth exploring ...
I am a member of CRIAN (http://transformingresearch.ning.com/) [CRIAN =
Christian Research in Action Network].
One of the key participants there is a poet, and a 'resource-man' .. a bit
like Jack is here ... always pointing to where there are good resources for
particular aspects of practice.
There is a subgroup in CRIAN for Art Practice, and Bernard has recently
posted some abstracts and links to current writing about art research there.
It may be useful for you.

Subject: Design as Research
Dear All
In the area of Jewellery Design and Manufacture there seems to be a strong
correlation between the steps that the design and manufacture process
follows and that of the action research process (plan/act/observe/reflect).
However, in the design process, as my students are executing it at the
moment, the participatory element (from an AR point of view) is missing.
Is there a more appropriate methodology/process that I can investigate that
would lead to more 'depth' and will guide my students towards being more
immersed in their design work without it becoming an exercise in narcissism?
Regards
Chris
