ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First and foremost, I owe huge thanks to the talented, warm and generous individuals who gave of their time, experience and enthusiasm to participate in my research, and who welcomed me into their homes and artistic practices. It has been a pleasure and delight to work with Jane M, Laura, Katherine, Susan, Clare, Kassandra, Philippa, Yoko, Marnie, Polly, Ticia and Jane O, all of whom have been a source of inspiration. Thank you. Thank you, also, to my supervisors, psychological and geographical. I thank Mark Burgess for his continued support, encouragement and guidance, despite my departure from psychology and return to geography for my doctorate, and in particular for his notification of a summer workshop through which I was introduced to the work of Eugene Gendlin. Without Mark’s interest in my work, this book would not have come into being. I also owe thanks to Derek McCormack for his copious critical feedback during my doctorate. Thanks go, too, to my assessors and examiners, for their assistance in the development of my doctoral work. In particular, I am grateful to Jamie Lorimer and John Wylie for their continued support for my research interests, academic endeavours and career aspirations. Other much appreciated sources of support include Pam Berry for her support and encouragement during my time at Oxford, and to teachers at
