Friend and colleague, Liz Unterman, asked in her blog Carbon Copy this week: “does a workspace inspire us or do we arrive to the space with the inspiration?”
Perhaps it’s a juicy mix.
I snapped a few images of my 5 foot x 10 foot work zone this evening, after merging them into panoramas—melds of the way my office seems when I’m in it… shelving, boxes, gadgets and gizmos stacked from floor to ceiling; blinking lights, books, beachsand and techno hum …it feels as though I’m in a capsule ready to lift off. Even with consistent space-clearing, the piles, icons and inspiration accumulate on their own accord.
With inspiration for a new video or still-image project comes a collection of tiny idols, pages ripped from books & magazines, photocopies from journals, quotes and queries.. and these items themselves propagate to idea and image. Ebb and flow..
