Might this be painting

Or, my painting versus writing dance. Dorothy Dandridge, in Carmen Jones, via Bizet: you go for me, and I'm taboo but if you're hard to get I go for you. Rachel Cusk (19:01) on a former classmate who was a virtuosic violinist and a terrible painter but was nonetheless determined to be one, forcing herself to become. Discipline, rigorous motivation shapes molten talent. And then what. First reaching into, then outstretching past, the present.
