JOURNALS
Today, the studio resembled a battlefield of cables and chaos. I had boxes and bags crammed under the desk, filled with wires and gadgets from a bygone era. These needed sorting, but more importantly, I had to face the reality of discarding a heap of stuff. This required a tough decision: do I cling to potential projects or let go of clutter in pursuit of focus? It's extremely reassuring to know the latter is the right move, simplifying my creative space and liberating my brain from unnecessary distractions.
I had a moment of levity watching a Charlie Brooker interview over lunch. It's almost like a mental palate cleanser amid the chaos that is tidying, refreshing my mind for the next round of cord wrestling. There's something about his dry humour that puts my own sense of order into a comforting perspective.
In between sorting, a small mission to buy a rug kicked off. Who would've thought shopping for something to keep your feet warm could become a mini-adventure? Armed with a new footwarmer, I'm considering the importance of comfort—not just in art but in every working hour within the studio. This space declined into chaos, and it's heartening to see how these small changes hint at something cosier and more conducive to focus.
Laptop and monitor setups are now done and ready for video editing, where eventually I’ll share the week’s thoughts, musings, and seemingly endless stream of cables. Got a bit tangled up in printers and ink alternatives but that feels like a problem for tomorrow. For today, knowing I've chipped away at the clutter is quite significant. And despite shooting some footage of my feet, it was really about warming devices and video content, completely business!
While not every task today reached completion, the essence of organising and planning for tomorrow remains. Returning home will be a move towards warmth and those fleecy trousers that call for future chilly studio days. Tomorrow unfolds as another opportunity to conquer this clutter, refresh the rhythm, and ensure I walk into a tidied space, not a web of wires.
