I spent yesterday cleaning and resetting my art studio. The art studio is in our storage unit...and therefore if not used it becomes a catchall. The storage area starts to take over the art area and everything gets hidden. At that point it becomes more work just to get the art studio ready to be used and I become...uninspired....
Not a new issue actually, its just a better metaphor for it. Typically work takes over and I'm uninspired. Or dishes take over, or bills, or laundry or day to day life. Quite depressing really.
As I was resetting yesterday my perspective started to change a bit. The act of resetting was creatively inspiring. I am hoping to hold onto that angle. Ideally dishes would inspire me to paint. Work would inspire me to sculpt. Bills would motivate me to build furniture and all would be right with the world.
I have always felt that if you give it breath, you give it life. So I am going to start typing and talking about things this way moving forward. In the hopes that breathing life into this inspiration process will keep things going.
