Abstract:

This thesis explores how deferring judgement in creative endeavours can open new possibilities and foster more ethical, inclusive practices. Through autoethnographic reflection and collaborative experiences, I address the question: How is the lived experience of deferring judgement embodied and negotiated intersubjectively during creative collaborations to expand possibilities? This research illuminates the embodied, intersubjective, and emergent qualities of deferring judgement by drawing on insights from phenomenology and non-Western philosophies. The study employs diverse methodologies, such as arts-based methods and immersive experiences, to reveal the subtle, often overlooked aspects of creativity that surface when judgement is acknowledged and actively deferred. The transdisciplinary approach integrates practice-led research, creating new intersections between theory and practice. This journey demonstrates the transformative potential of deferring judgement, showing how embodied experiences can ignite new creative possibilities, ethical awareness, and relational understanding within collaborative contexts. The research culminates in “Fractals of Nature” (“Fractals”) an immersive, non-traditional research output (NTRO) designed to bring the principles of this thesis to life. Fractals invites the reader to experience deferring judgement as a lived practice, embodying the fundamental tenets of the thesis while pushing the boundaries of knowledge transfer. While grounded in rigorous scholarly inquiry, this work also opens pathways to more expansive, inclusive, and ethically aware creative practices, offering innovative methods for sharing knowledge across disciplines.
