Studio - messy and neglected
Accusing me for having stayed away
for making coloured pictures using words
not aluminium plates and acid
nor tile grout patterned onto card
not ink
but if I tidy everything away
I know it will be ten times harder to restart.
Space is, for me, an essential luxury - which is what makes me mad about this current 'oldies should sell their houses and down-size' idea - having got shot of the children we NEED, and use every inch of, this space. Occasionally writing does inspire print-making - 'One that got away' the last example, but I had in the end to incorporate digital imagery and manipulation to get what I wanted. This year I hope to do more but ...
It must be wonderful to have enough space to do that. I have to clkear away my 'craft' stuff every time we want to eat.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the accusation though.
Perhaps you could print off some of your 'word pictures' to keep both sides happy. :)
