pLACE: My making space

 

My own making space:

Since moving back into my parents home in 2018, Ive gone back to using the box room (which was my office/studio before I left for Scotland to study). Ive gone through so many iterations of this room to try and make it an inspiring place to work - I decluttered A LOT of stuff, bought a wooden bureau from a charity shop then got rid of it few years later as it was just too big, I chalk-painted my old MDF table/drawers, bought new curtains etc. Ive changed as a person internally over the years and had to streamline the space a lot or I get a bit too overwhelmed as the box room is also my 'chill out' place in the evenings.

A very cluttered box room 2018

Bit more streamlined studio 2023

At this current time, Im feeling a bit claustraphobic in my home space (I spent a lot of time here over lockdown etc) and finding it difficult to make work here as though its convenient to be next to my bedroom, I also feel constricted and when I wake/get ready etc, I feel energised and wanting to get out of the house vs just coming straight to my 'studio' a few steps from my room. Also being in my parents home, can be very distracting. Its been a long journey and still work in progress!!!
