71. I have been trying, for some time now, to find dignity in my loneliness. I have been finding this hard to do.

72. It is easier, of course, to find dignity in one's solitude. Loneliness is solitude with a problem. Can blue solve the problem, or can it at least keep me company within it? No, not exactly. It cannot love me that way; it has no arms. But sometimes I do feel its presence to be a sort of wink - Here you are again, it says, and so am I. (Nelson, 2009, p. 28)

water, heuristic thinking

Hi Mirae and Harriet,

I hope you've both been enjoying the sunny days!

I have some ideas flowing (ha!) in my mind right now, and I've attached my brainstorming session to this email. Essentially, I am interested in the concept of ripples: how there needs to be an initiation for a rippling effect to occur. I see this in relation to human interactions - we are all connected as human beings, and our actions/dialogues/words have effects. Each of us needs to find it within ourselves to initiate the ripple, and once you do, you will start to feel the connections near and far. I also view human interactions/ripples as a never-ending cycle, like how a river constantly flows with no end.

I am drawn to explore this concept with Asian watercolours and video/sound/gifs. I plan to explore these two mediums, and see how they work separately as well as together. I may end up sticking to one or the other, my process is heavily reliant on experimentation and creation for concrete ideas to emerge.

I hope this is sufficient information! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to let me know.

Take good care,
​Jeannie

​Independent Study Process
(Altered from above)
​
1.A crisis that created a question or problem (What does it mean to be alone amidst the covid-19 crisis as an artist and art educator in Montreal? How can this situation be used for creative exploration?)
2.A search of self in solitude: a recognition of the significance of feelings/emotions/loneliness as a creative outlet
3.An expanding awareness of people in everyday situations: observation, conversation, dialogue and discussion amongst others during this period in time
4.A steeping in the deeper regions of emotions through writing and creating
5.An intuitive grasping of the patterns of emotions/heuristic thinking
6.Further clarification through readings of similar concept (Moustakas, Nelson, Brindamour)
7.Creation of a manuscript/record of study (documentation of creation/journal/drawings)

Heuristic Inquiry: The Internal Search to Know (1985), Douglass & Moustakas

  • Heuristics as an approach to human science research that is private and imaginative in nature
  • Pursuit of essential meanings connected with everyday human experiences
  • Purpose is to cast light on a problem, question or theme
  • ‘heuristic’ is derived from the Greek word ‘heuretikos’ meaning ‘I find’, related to ‘eureka’ (Craig, 1978)
  • Data that emerges are autobiographical and original descriptions of lived experience in all of their visuals, textures and structures
  • The power of heuristics is potential for disclosing truth by “…exhaustive self-search, dialogues with others, and creative depictions of experience, a comprehensive knowledge is generated, beginning as a series of subjective musing and developing into a systematic and definitive exposition.” (p.40)
  • Passionate yet disciplined commitment is vital for scientific credibility
 
Step 1 - Process:

  • Start with affirmation of subjectivity
  • Self-directed, self-motivated, open to spontaneous shift in searching into a problem 

Step 2 - Immersion:
  • Internal frame of reference deepens, captivated by a particular image, sensation, or realization to explore its meaning or significance

Immersion for heuristic thinking is:
"...more impulsive than deliberate,
more a wandering than a goal,
more a way of being than a method of doing.”
(Douglass & Moustakas, 1985, p. 48)
