Its been a busy year and I finally see a window of open space to focus on things in my studio space.
Right now it feels good taking advantage of the unoccupied time on my calendar. I’m purging things and freeing up space in my studio. Yesterday I moved furniture around in what I call Studio B and freed up some floor space (Studio B is the guest bedroom and also where I film my videos or do Zoom lectures/workshops).
This year I also have been processing how to continue moving forward with my art. I’m questioning what things are still worth my time, which need more time and what to let go.
This questioning helps with the purging process. If I’m not excited about doing something anymore I have to ask is it worth holding on to the supplies/books that I collected for that activity? Sometimes I have to double make sure before I’m willing to I discard things. Those items may have to stick around a bit longer.
All of this is keeping me physically and mentally occupied. With all the heavy news the last few months, I need this physical processing. However, I must also remember that thoughts require purging to open up space in my head. Creativity seems to flow easier when my mind isn’t trying to solve issues that I have no control. If a thought isn’t worth my time, I must decide if I should just let it go.
