A comparision of art and Emilly Dickenson's writings

Originally I began researching Emily Dickinson not knowing what sort of angle I planned to use in doing a research paper. Then I had an idea to create a piece of art and found that I wasn’t the first to have this idea. This idea of linking someone else’s interpretation of what they wrote about and then expanding on it with the artist’s own seems to directly relate to the reasons for …

Dickinson is often able to put into words, things that I would have a difficult time expressing in any other way but my art. I’m grateful to her that sometimes I can just read and say, "I know exactly what you mean".
