Abstract
In this photo essay, I enact how a creative pedagogue engages with artistic practice and contemplative inquiry. As a poet, at home in words, photography represents a creative risk. This vulnerability is felt in the sharing of the work through the lens of (re)search. Hence, I ask: Does it have wings? By delving in expressive forms toward the service of understanding my personal and pedagogical self, creative risk is rewarded in profound ways. I have discovered that my art practice is driven by intention, intuition and imagination. Thus, here is my creative pedagogy in action illuminating how an inquiry through images provokes learning and teaching. Both poetry and photography provide keen vision—a way of sensing and seeing Light.

Résumé
Dans cet essai photographique, j’explique comment qu’une pédagogue créative peut s’engager dans la pratique artistique et la recherche contemplative. En tant que poète, à l’aise avec son vocabulaire, la photographie représente un risque créatif. Cette vulnérabilité se ressent dans le partage du travail. En puisant dans des formes expressives au service de la compréhension de soi aux points de vues personnels et pédagogiques, le risque créatif est récompensé. J’ai découvert que ma pratique artistique est guidée par l’intention, l’intuition et l’imagination. Voici ma pédagogie créative en action qui éclaire la manière dont une enquête à travers l’évaluation d’images provoque l’apprentissage et l’enseignement. La poésie et la photographie offrent une vision perçante, une façon de ressentir et de percevoir la Lumière.
