The under-representation of the artist voice in specific research methods is what convinced me to write from my perspective as an American woman artist whose work crosses disciplinary boundaries. The purpose of my first person writing is to expand the twenty-year old dialog concerning cross-discipline practice within art and anthropology. The distinct content includes approaches that I have drawn from each discipline and includes an evaluation of how digital media has altered the structures of those disciplines for the process of my Collection Project. My monograph contributes to the development of defining the artist's role with the production of knowledge beyond a standard visual means to interdisciplinary practice.
