The Method of Understanding In Art and Science...

[mopinko]

3. well, that's cool.

ya know, i had an interesting chat w my neurologist/sleep doc a while back.
i wasnt rly having issues, and i love to just shoot the shit w this doc about brains and stuff.
i talked about the ways that i have figured out my own brain, and where the kinks are and why.
and a part of it is absolutely that i am a painter. what i paint is life size abstract figures. what is abstracted is the emotional energy inside a body, mostly mine. from the inside out.

this is supposed to be an inscrutable koan- how can the brain understand itself?
me- from the inside out, w both art and science.

i'm one of those people who love both art and science, and prolly never rly "made anything of myself" cuz i couldnt make up my mind. (a bogus idea, but one i still have to chase out of my brain once in a while. i've made a lot of things of myself.)
i feel that that duel outlook enriches understanding on both ends.
