Creative Practice & Methods

This research adopts a practice-based methodology, where creative practice itself becomes a primary method of inquiry.

The project is grounded in autoethnographic reflection, using lived experience as both the site and source of investigation. Through documenting my own creative process, I explore how regenerative creative practice may emerge through everyday acts of making, observing, and reflecting.

The research unfolds through a combination of:

• blogging, essays and reflective writing

• podcast production

• visual storytelling and narrative exploration

• field observation and ecological reflection.

These practices are documented through ongoing journal entries and creative outputs, forming a body of material that traces the development of the research over time.

Rather than seeking definitive answers, this methodology allows the research to remain responsive and exploratory, attending to the subtle shifts and insights that arise through creative engagement with place, community, and the living world.

In this way, creative practice becomes both the method and the outcome of the research.
