Abstract
This chapter is an exemplar of how we, together and with others, engage in cognitive and artistic critique and create a blend of scholarly and artistic spaces within which to live our research practices. The context of the exemplar is our critical companionship (Titchen, 2004) which we set up as a reciprocal learning journey. Angie now locates critical companionship within a paradigmatic synthesis called critical creativity (Brendan McCormack & Angie Titchen, 2006; Titchen, Higgs, & Horsfall, 2007; Titchen & McCormack, 2008, 2010; Titchen, McCormack, Wilson, & Solman, 2011).
