*Vol.1, Ch.II, Methodology: "Conclusion"

I have shown in this chapter on the methodology of Practice as Research, how I have employed a number of strategies to explore the Invisible lines and translate them into multi-media productions. Some of these are philosophical such as the use of spiritual frames and Hegelian dialectic,; some are art making strategies, found here largely in the area of making and demonstrating the translating of lines from one media to another and the juxtaposition of lines in various media to produce complex phenomena. Others are more psychosocial and reflect on my own position within society such as subjugated ways of knowing, autoethnography, genetic epistemology and interpretive interactionism. These are to be found largely in the planning phase and are revisited in the Reflection. The origin of invisible lines lies in the ontology of the artist which is why such a combination of strategies is appropriate. The translation of the invisible lines into a visible form requires strategies of art-making in which the invisible lines are translated into visible lines.
