I am not an artist.

Today's lecture got me thinking about the way I think and who I consider myself to be. Unfortunately for me I am an analytical, quantitative, more "scientific" thinker. When I'm sitting in class having abstract terms thrown at me, my brain has to stop, analyze the conventional meaning of the word, then quantify it so I can relate it to whatever artwork we are observing. So where does that leave me? What do I call this condition? Artistically challenged? Why do I love to create things if I have no desire to express myself with what I make? I honestly don't know. What I do know is that I love making things. I want to make things as a career. Unfortunately, I have no interest in making beautiful things simply for the sake of beauty, rather I would like to focus more on the anthropology aspect of design. Ergonomics, function over form, user interface; That's what interests me. Now if only wooden strips had some sort of physical function.....
