Making room for creativity [212]




Art Juice: A podcast for artists, creatives and art lovers show

Summary: <p>Drowning in piles of paper? Find it hard to decide what you still need to keep in your studio...? Today we take a closer look into the psychology of your creative space with Helen Sanderson, author of The Secret Life of Clutter. With a creative background herself, Helen believes in our key strengths; we are resourceful and have a strong desire to gather - because that's often when we are inspired. But when yesterday's things start to impact your creative space in the NOW, that can be detrimental to how your work can develop. </p> <p>Throw in whole host of unhelpful beliefs about creative identity thriving in a muddle and you have a recipe for clutter taking over. You'll get to hear Helen's thoughts about our homes being a Flight Deck, the links between decisions being made visible and the maturing process which can help you on this journey. </p> <p>With a complex mix of efficiency and emotions, wanting to be stimulated while also having spaces which serve us, this is something we all approach with a variety of history and different process. You can find lots of resources and take the quiz on Helen's website: </p> <p><a href="http://www.helensanderson.com">www.helensanderson.com</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Join the next Getting Clear workshop:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gettingclear.live">www.gettingclear.live</a></p> <p>Use code JUICE50 at checkout to save 50% on your place</p> <p><br>Do tag us on Instagram and share your thoughts and progress!</p> <p>Find Helen <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ministryofcalm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@ministryofcalm </a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Mentioned</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Secret-Life-Clutter-Getting-letting/dp/0349427887/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=1686570920&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Secret Life of Clutter </a>(book) by Helen Sanderson</p> <p>The Examined Life by Stephen Grosz</p> <p><br></p> <p>See Alice Sheridan at: </p> <p><a href="https://alicesheridan.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.alicesheridan.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/alicesheridanstudio/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alicesheridanstudio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>Find more about Louise Fletcher:</p> <p><a href="https://www.louisefletcherart.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.louisefletcherart.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/louisefletcher_art/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@louisefletcher_art⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>Credits: "Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License</p>
