They say “variety is the spice of
life”, but sometimes, in practical terms, it gets in the way of
being a good thing. A friend gifted me with a large, L shaped table
top when she moved out of her studio. What luxury! I had never had a
workspace that could accommodate a framing job or room to spread out.
Each project which had its own tools and materials had to be cleaned
up each time I want to change media. Since a long project had its
“boring” period, when I reach these times, I’m able to switch
over and leave one job and pick up another. Recently, I took a long
look at the workspace, which takes up a corner of the studio, and
realized it was one great mess. Some things needed to be finished and
out away.
The table top is now populated by 2
fiber sculptures, a CD player, boxes of pencils and clay tools, old
magazines, paint brushes, impressions from a zinc plate next to them,
tools used to work on the plate and next to all that is an easel with
an unfinished painting of a model who posed for a “life” class.
Of all of the
aforementioned, maybe it should be the plate that should have a final
printing. I will probably give up on the painting and I need more
fabric to finish the figures. It’s a mess, but it does keep me
occupied.
