Thematic Analysis - Over Arching Themes between participants - coding memo 057

To search for individual methods, perceptions and how sight-loss influenced their creative practice, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was applied to the data set of each individual participant.
The method of data coding was based upon Reflexive Thematic Analysis, where themes were deliberately sought and defined - as a focal point for how this could be replicated as an animated experience, rather than data simply emerging from the data. Data codes became potential sub-themes, candidate themes and final themes.
To search for commonalities and over-arching themes across all data sets, the sub-themes for each participant were reviewed as an entire data set and grouped where themes over-lapped and were common to more than one participant.
Over-arching themes below:

GAIT as an identification method
The importance of ENVIRONMENT for creative practice
Tactile DISPLAY problems
The importance of AUTONOMY
Making the INVISIBLE VISIBLE
Embracing mistakes DISABILITY GAIN
Memories and INTERNAL VISUAL DATA BANKS for visualisation
Touch and reduction of SCALE to comprehend space
ACTIVE LISTENING as a reflective focus
Filling in the blanks SEEING ONLY A PART
