“…For over two decades, I've encouraged viewers of my photo exhibitions to participate in the process of meaning-making. The data of my doctoral dissertation consisted of their opinions and comments about the images (Ulkuniemi, 2007). This exhibition was first shown at the Oulunsalo library gallery as part of the Oulunsalo Music Festival, where I was the invited artist of the year.…”

Re-charging the IMAGinationAs artists and educators, we continually find ways to energize and invigorate our practice. Now, as we strive to make sense of unprecedented global events that have uprooted our routines we are at new beginnings compelled to again witness the power of art to bring us hope, joy, and meaning. In this issue we present visual essays that have demonstrated novel and innovative ways that artists, educators, and community members recharge as an active commitment to revitalize the imagination and sense of wonder. These essays illuminate how visual language and aesthetic experience brings optimism and resilience into the creative process. By exploring the unexplored they refresh the imagination of self, learners, and community members.As newly appointed co-editors we are also at new beginnings exploring the unexplored and honored to present this, our first issue. We are grateful to Teresa Eca who pioneered and edited IMAG through these past seven years and to graphic designer Angela Saldanha for her keen dedication and vision. We hope to follow their path to Re-charge Imaginations for our readers through many upcoming IMAG issues.

“…During the whole process we contemplated the places and the things they showed and felt were important. Ulkuniemi (2007), an artist/researcher created an "Enchanted Carpet of Holy Daily Life" (p. 48) where her images taken over two days, in a home and work setting, were put together into a carpet to convey the sacred nature of daily life in a family. In a similar process we created the quilt with meanings that are in and in between "images, materials, situations, space and time" (Irwin & Springgay, 2008, p. xix) and the added words that opened thinking.…”

Embodied encounters in and with crafting as method led to knowing with making in this research. A crafted bricolage of photographs from young children (aged 15 months to 5 years) was created at their early childhood centre. The children’s photographs became material for further thinking as they were transferred to fabric and combined into a quilt that was tie quilted by children and the researcher as artist/researcher/teachers (Springgay, Irwin, Leggo, & Gouzouasis, 2008). Our craft processes in quilt making initiated ongoing integrated art-making, teaching/learning, and conversations with and without words. Much research in early childhood has a focus on the child, but what do children focus on, and how might they be more than participants? Rich experiences throughout the co-creation of the quilt as a living inquiry provided spaces for learning and knowledge making. Craft as research and a piece of art to display for the learning community provoked questions and opened understandings about and with young children, their preferences, and their capacity as co-researchers.
