This is an interesting topic, Robin. Whenever I’m writing, whether it be satire or a script, I’m committed to telling a story. More than anything, I want readers to think of something differently — perhaps to shed light on an idea or point of view they’ve never quite fully imagined. I certainly believe one can learn from art! I don’t believe the purpose of creation is to be didactic. So, when creating, I don’t attempt to show and tell. I will simply show. Interpretation is up for grabs, and that’s one of the most beautiful things about art. Just because I like a book doesn’t mean that you will. Just because you enjoy a certain painting doesn’t mean that I will. And that’s perfectly okay. :)
