The conviction that painting is the right profession grows stronger and stronger in me. Writing is the only other thing I still feel attracted to. -Paul Klee

“I am writing for the same reason I am making art”
Being scientist (or artist) is not necessarily an indicator of creativity nor smarts
Unuseful tab-ulation
Trait level Intellect: visual artists like scientists display active engagement with ideas, cogitating, analytic thinking styles
To write is to organize a relationship. –artist, Marcel Broodthaers
Words are events, they do things, change things.
They transform both speaker and hearer; they feed energy back and forth and amplify it.
They feed understanding or emotion back and forth and amplify it.
— Ursula K. Le Guin
