Rearranging the Studio Space

 

In an effort to make my space more accessible and inviting, I began rearranging, cleaning and reorganizing. Above, you have a peek at how three of my shelves look today. Eardley, Gorky, Kollwitz and more fill three shelves.

This is a shot of what the shelves looked like until Saturday afternoon. There are many books shown here that I still love but haven't looked at in quite some time. I sorted through and made two piles: keep and sell (more on those later.) 

The ones I kept were boxed, labeled and stored in Tristan's former bedroom. I have three banker's boxes: art journaling/bookbinding/collage; Lynda Barry and misc; and Maira Kalman. 

My goal is to clean, reorganize and rearrange my "studio area" (aka my side of the living room.) I am trying to make my books and art supplies that I am using now more accessible and easier to find. 

My goal is to morph my corner into a working artist's studio so I can begin to film workshops and live videos from my apartment. I would like a space that is ready to go and calls to me at all hours to come paint or read.  

Wish me luck!
