Introduction
This paper explores body mapping through the lens of general and personal provenance. The word Provenance means the place of origin or earliest known history of something. Provenance is "a reflective practice tool that scaffolds a practitioner to recognise the elements and experiences that have contributed to their knowledge and acquisition of a practice" (Hill & Lloyd, 2015, 3).
Body mapping is a creative tool of inquiry that enables the producer of the body map to explore and articulate their personal or professional story in an embodied and visual way. Body mapping is a way of exploring identity and helps create meaning in relation to life circumstances that shape our lives (Gastaldo, Magalhaes, Carrasco & Davy, 2012).
