Ha ha! Yes: the struggle is real. Things come in waves for me. When I am in the midst of a bigger project, studio gets messy in a hurry. Some people say they thrive in that, I am not sure if I do. More likely is the fact that my attention gets so narrow/focused that I stop noticing things piling up around. Then, as waves go: I go through a phase of deep cleaning and organization, because it feels sooo good to walk into a spacious and freshly cleaned up studio! Only to be de-organized again.
That said: just this summer, for the first time in my life, I have moved into a proper art studio space. Not in my home: a place I have to go to with intention and the sole purpose of art making. Which led to separating (in a way) of the sound work, which still happens in a space at home, and all the other art practice, which is now shifting to the other space… and that space is very neat, and very beautiful!:
