Abstract

The purpose of this study was to engage in a collaborative, artistic inquiry to examine the self–other processes of transference and counter transference. Over the course of 10 weeks, the two researcher-participants co-constructed several self-portraits using sheets of acetate transparencies positioned in-between them. They gathered and analyzed data using collaborative paintings, photography, journal entries, letter writing, dialogue, and an art installation. Findings were synthesized and represented in the form of an audiovisual compilation.
