ABSTRACT
Chapter 6 follows one student’s conceptualizations around notions of representation. Representation, in this case, means a finished object, and that finished product is privileged or valued over process. In order to embrace the process more deeply, childhood toys were used as thinking tools to explore the tensions between traditional representation in relationship with the ambiguities and tensions often imbued in the process. Embracing the unknown invited Brooke to think differently about process both in artistic practices as well as research, making a space for new ways of knowing to emerge.
