Getting on with it…Space Factor

February 12, 2008 · 2 Comments

Well all, I am back to the blank canvas, today felt good working again. The museum asked me to keep working, thank god… so now I can create some new larger works. The space has effected my work in ways that are so simple and yet it has me wondering what will occur once the residency is over.

Basically I can get back from my work so I can see the whole work. Further just the ability to move around unhindered has me more relaxed, loose. As I was working I thought, “hey I take space for granted.”  Some of our production can be totally affected by studio space, working space in final installations, and thus creative space. Space is often the last thought when working, one thinks I just have to make do with what is here. Its a financial factor of course.

A friend in Holland started a project recently that is a “gallery” but it moves, it adopts spaces and presents projects.  Maybe its not too far to adapt that idea to form a global network that can share spaces for working. This space wont be mine much longer to trade. ; -)
