Common Threads explores ideas of artistic identity and memory
contained within the narrated stories of ten textile artists. It
reveals how individuals bring a sense of linearity to fragments of
memory and create a cohesive sense of self through telling their
life's story.By employing a systems model, the author constructs
new ideas of interrogating identity and art practice. The model,
"Constructing Personal Narratives", brings into focus the
hermeneutic circle of learning, and identifies the importance and
need to provide opportunities for lifelong learning. The stories
told by the participants who returned to the formal education
sector later in life reveal the profound effects adult learning had
upon their lives. The writer reveals how the model generated the
interview questions that provided the rich biographical content
that emerged within dialogues.The common threads of experience and
feelings of the ten participants and the author are revealed, and
from these emerge deepened understandings of both the place of
stories within our lives and how stories can further an
understanding of what it means to be an artist. Emerging from these
stories are implications for teaching practice; these are presented
as observations and questions in terms of how educators should be
part of the learning experience with those they educate.
