What are your personal working preferences for artmaking?
I find that I’m spontaneous during artmaking. I like to have an idea or broad goal before starting, but I find that if I am too well-prepared the artmaking feels mechanical and I lose enthusiasm half way through. My space is full of “toys” to play with if I need a moment to think or a distraction during artmaking, and is somewhat organized and cleaned before artmaking begins. I need just enough organization to know where everything is, but enough visual chaos to keep me on my toes. As most of my work is at a computer, I often work in low light with my stereo on and either a glass of red wine or cup of green tea. I usually work with the door open because if I close it, someone will want something! Creativity flows for me at around 2pm and continues until I’ve finished (anywhere from a few minutes or hours later). I always need to have the TV or Radio on to distract the audio part of my mind and so I can fully focus the visual part. I am a multitasker.
