Top of my head: writing. Both are visual stimuli that call for cognitive interpretation of graphical marks of one kind or other and they are both typically flat. Sculpture is probably a tad more like speech, being three dimensional (sound fills up space) and is fully experienced in time as your walk around the piece (at least more so than a painting). Beyond that, the modes diverge greatly. Ah, I see that Saul and I have almost diametrically opposite responses. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Brady
