| "Non-sign" - a billboard that focusses attention on the landscape behind it - is made of small steel rods (from here) |
Another way of saying "less is more".
Another reason to keep on with making the studio an uncluttered place - changing it from a place of over-abundant means and unfocussed attention, a place where one feels powerless to choose what to do, out of all the possibilities ... into a clear space with abundant possibilities. Focussing on the important things. Finding out what they are, what is needed, what is superfluous ... letting go of the rest.
It's not even a matter of being super-organised - just of getting the visual clutter, the unspoken demands of Too Much Of Everything, out of the way.
In the short term, two strategies can overcome the cluttered-studio problem:
1. Clear a workspace, put all the clutter out of sight - behind your back - so it doesn't distract you. (Focussed attention.)
2. Put a few materials into a bag and go somewhere else to work - eg, take a sketchbook and pen to the park or a cafe or wherever, and use them. (Limited means.)
