dc.description.abstract	Naming plays an important role in the performance of our lives, in the telling of tales of who it is we think we are. Using an eclectic methodology, which leans heavily towards art-based research, this qualitative study explores the commonalities and differences in the self-naming of seven women. These women were living in various .region.s of Canada's British Columbia at the time. In the creation of an invisible cloth of personal empowerment, the researcher/participant like a sewing needle works with invisible thread to stitch, baste and write together a complex, multi-layered text. "Bits and pieces'' of life's wholeness, taken from the twenty~first century's fragmented society, provide a variety of textures for the layering ·of this finished work. The text includes prose, poems, vignettes, art of an Old Master and a sewn installation Art Piece.
