Abstract

In this article, the author takes a post-anthropocentric (re)turn to matter and mattering, using art-making-as-inquiry to think-feel about the ways in which art and matter matters in end-of-life art therapy. Visual art-making and new materialist theories are entangled with(in) stories from clinical end-of-life art therapy practice, textually and texturally performing how it is to work with affect, vibrant matter, vulnerability, and death. It is based on a symposium presented by four researchers at the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry in 2018 titled “Material Methods,” each mobilizing creative practices to think about death, and transformation.
