My research was a study of the power dynamics in an adult literacy centre in Duncan, BC, Canada and the use of artifacts as a research tool. The thesis 'Doing Freedom: An Ethnography of an Adult Literacy Centre' is available at http://www.nald.ca/fulltext/soroke/freedom.pdf
For a shorter read, there is an article in the Literacies journal titled 'Artifacts as a Research Tool' http://www.literacyjournal.ca/literacies/2-2003/practice/5/1.pdf
The story of how zipper sculptures came to be with some directions on how to create your own can be found in the Change Agent article 'Sculpting Relationships'.
