Lapine en les pins: Where art meets research

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of Arts-Based Research (ABR), exploring how creative works can be valuable within science, medicine and health, providing innovative, more accessible solutions to research (data collection), evaluation (data analysis) and representation (data visualization). Through examples, the author explores what this can mean to artists interested in using their skills (digital platforms, complex aesthetics, material understanding, social engagement, pattern recognition and visual metaphor) within research, and to researchers who are motivated to create deeper and varied pathways for discovery.
