"I begin my day with a quick studio cleanup and a bit of journaling about what I want to accomplish during my studio session. I use it as a chance to check in with myself and see how I'm feeling, what I want to accomplish, and what will be the most productive kind of making for the day."
"There's definitely an energy there - it seems that what I leave in the space persists and affects me later. I have to be sure not to hang around too long if I'm not feeling it. I'm lucky enough to share this space with a number of other artists. I'll often stop by their studios for a chat or to get some advice about a problem I'm working out. I love being so close to my community!"
One occupant has worked in the space three months; another for eleven years. One begins sessions with a quick cleanup and journaling to set goals and assess feelings. The space retains energy that affects later work and prompts leaving when focus wanes. The studio is shared with other artists, enabling chats and advice. The space has abundant natural light, an armchair, and walls covered with artworks, though more space is desired. The longer-term occupant arrives between 9 and 10 a.m., uses a laptop and amp, listens to music or podcasts, stretches multiple canvases, and uses rabbit skin glue in their process. Favorite material: anything shiny; favorite museum: Eskenazi Museum of Art.
