Transformation
Last weekend, my friend and I cleared out my studio.
Over the last five months, we’ve been systematically decluttering and organising the whole house. We’ve done: the enormous walk-in ‘Cupboard of Doom’; the shed; the tool cupboard; the food cupboards; the kitchen; the medicines; my study and the big bedroom. As a result, a lot of stuff from other areas of the house that we’d decided should live in the studio had ended up piled on the floor in there.
It’s hard to make art when your studio is this messy!

I could hardly get to the desk…

There were piles of stuff everywhere. Some of it wasn’t even mine.

By the start of the second day, we’d emptied and cleaned the space.

There was nothing we could do about this peeling corner because it needs re-plastering, but at least it’s cleaner than it was.

By the end of day two, most things were boxed and labelled…

…and neatly on shelves.

We need to spend a couple more hours in there because there are a few unsorted boxes to go through…

…and the jewellery area is like a whole mini-studio all by itself. We didn’t have the energy or the correct boxes to tackle it.

But apart from that, my lovely studio is now a usable and inviting space again. Hooray!
