As early as the age of nine I swore that I would create only "tangible" works of art: writing, which is tangible and available as long as the printed sheets are there, and painting, which is also tangible and available as long as the works of art are on or against a wall. I avoided music, which exists only if someone must play it live for you, or if you conjure it electronically, but which remains invisible, and dance, which, though visible, like music has the same live and electronic constraints (the same goes for acting, acting having the further constraint of physical aging).

With writing and with painting you can have your cake and eat it too.
