<i>A Ramble on Prayer</i> : a collaboration between an artist and a writer

A Ramble on Prayer is a collaborative project that involves multiple stages of interpretation, as creative works are exchanged in response to one another during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This article explores the authors’ experiences of collaboration from the positions of painter, creative writer, and researchers. This collaboration is a reflexive and dialogic space for creative self-narration/expression, allowing Adji’s and See’s imagination and subjectivities to discern, develop, and reciprocate each other’s work. In parallel to these creative reciprocations, also sits a dialogue concerning their collaborative processes to reflexively analyse how the collaborators’ use of visual and poetic devices serves as layers of meaning and embodiment of their reflexive praxis. Visual documentation of the collaborative practice, alongside pieces of creative writing, are included to express the sensory details and dialogue, as well as to add further accretions of interpretation.
