We, the authors, worked the post-intentional phenomenological (PIP) triangle to consider post-reflexion and PIP more broadly as they relate to the relationships between qualitative inquiry, art, and artfulness. By moving through the PIP triangle and engaging the five principles of PIP, we consider the ways in which our processes as qualitative inquirers are intertwined and grounded in artfulness. We explore the ways in which artfulness and art are inquiry themselves and conclude that PIP is a space where qualitative researchers can exist and expand as artists, shift into agency, and explore the positive and negative space that frames their seeing.
