Autoethnography on research as art

Within my Ph.D. research, I am using autoethnography to write about my own experiences. I had been using these to talk about the past. However, I have now started to use the methodology to reflect on the here and now of my research as I strive to be reflexive.

The two images below come from longer stories, but the phases presented struck me as having a quality in them that would work in my art practice. This quality is related to throw-away comments, slight humor and hopefully reliability. 

The first image/text is about researcher positionality and how you cannot research - or do anything - and ignore the fact that you are there. 
This second outcome is a thought process that I had when thinking about my relationship with research participants and truth. But could possibly be applied to any relationship and the idea of truth. 

I am not sure what I am doing with these, but they joined me in the studio. I am interested in the use of differently-sized font within one piece. I do not think I've done this before, but I would like to explore this and how it can bring attention to specific words in an outcome.
