more on practice led vs practice based

Practice led and its affiliated terms are used to make two arguments which are often overlapping and interlinked.
That creative work is a form of research and generates detectable research outputs
creative practice (the training and specialised knowledge that creative practitioners have and the process that they engage in when making art-) Can lead to specalised research insights which can then be generalised and written up as research.
the first argument emphasises creative practice in itself while the second highlights the insights, conceptualisation and theorisation  which can arise when artists reflect on and document their own practice. Candy (2006) helpfully uses the term practice based and practice led to distinguish between these different emphases. For hear, in practice based research the creative work acts as a form of research, whereas practice led research is about practice leading to research insights.
