The artist's studio has always fascinated me. Perhaps it is, like the sketchbook, a window into an artist's soul. I find myself analizing the details of the space and pondering what those details reveal about the artist. What is the significance of that book on his table? Why are the curtains always open (why do they even have curtains?) Is the space as curated as a painting? Is it intimate like a bedroom, or just a space to make a mess? What makes one comfortable enough to tune out and listen to his or her own creative voice? Because that is what an artist studio is, a pre-warmed oven for baking idea cookies...
