A rather different link that comes to mind (different from work with artists that
is) is Jack Adams-Webber's work on the Golden Section in relation to use of
ratings on grids. The two references I find in my reference system are:

Adams-Webber, J. (1981). Empirical developments in personal
construct theory. Personal Construct Psychology. Recent
advances in theory and practice. H. Bonarius, R. Holland and S.
Rosenberg. New York, St. Martin's Press: 47-70.

Adams-Webber, J. and D. Davidson (1979). Maximum contrast
between self and others in personal judgement: a repertory grid
study. British Journal of Psychology 70: 517-518.

but I'm sure there are more including probably better ones.....
Jack?
