The creative habit5/21/2023 Tharp has devised a questionnaire in this chapter called "Your Creative Autobiography". I need to have the layers reveal themselves to me as I dig through The Heap of fabric I'm constantly trying to organize. I'm realizing that while the constant chaos that I work in feels overwhelming now, I need some degree of it in order to spark the collages. She is aware that no matter how odd it might seem, she needs them both in order to work. Tharp discusses her own habit of detachment and involvement when she is working. Let the chaos build itself up in the composition. There is a disconnect when I work, I just go, let overthinking go. If I don't hit an instant emotional reaction to what I've chosen, I toss it aside and dig through the pile again. If I completely remove this energy from my studio, will I struggle? My method of working depends largely on reacting to my fabric. I make from a place that thrives on layers and riot and simply just being. And while I'm not about to abandon my pursuit of making my studio better then it is, it makes me wonder if I need to be careful about how far I take it.Ĭlearly I create from chaos. I've been struggling so much about how messy my creative space is. It's meant to be undefined so that it can be whatever it needs to be for whoever is looking at it. The meaning? I won't say what it means to me. This is the way I have chosen to work that feels most like home. This is #17 of a series that has defined my artist voice.
