My sublet situation at my studio at Waltham Mills Artists Association has changed, so I will be moving out at the end of this month. I mentioned a few posts back that I knew I was on the verge of a major transition, and this change with the studio just makes that more evident.
It’s good timing, I wouldn’t want to change my studio situation while I was in the middle of a project. Since I’m between projects, I can take under consideration my home studio while I’m brainstorming my next project. I wish I had the freedom to do anything in terms of materials and format, but from a practical perspective, I have to let my financial resources and studio situation dictate what I’m able to make. I believe in being true to my artistic intentions, but at a certain point, I do have to set some limits. For example, I have a rule that I won’t make any artwork that doesn’t fit in my car. I got around this with my last project because I found a plastic material that rolled up easily, so I was able to make 7′ x 4′ drawings that would still fit in my car.
It’s going to be quite a bit of rearranging to set up a home studio, but it will be nice to have everything in one place for a change.
Best of luck with your move, hope your home studio works out well. Would love to see photos when you set it up, I’m still working on mine – it’s a mess!
Change can be good! Looking forward to how you set up your home studio and the next work!
Best wishes for your move, your home studio might even offer more freedom and time to work!
