In several of the artists' spaces I noticed towels, glass palates, tables, coffee mugs, gloves, glass jars or containers of some sort, cluttered areas, reference books, music and white walls.
Why do you think these things appear in so many different artists' studios?
Most of the items that appeared in the different studios are related to the process of creating the art - glass palates, tables, jars to keep brushes or paint, and towels to clean up. The items I found interesting in the studios were music, reference books and white walls. The music is probably there to keep the artist motivated and maybe even inspired as they work in their studio. The reference books provide inspiration as well. I find when I am working on a piece it is important to have the ideas that inspired my work to be around me and keep me going in the right direction. It is also interesting to see where the artist gathers their inspiration - with different collages or marked up books. The white walls allow the artists to admire and critique their art in their own studio. The lack of color on the walls makes it easier to concentrate on the piece and minimizes distractions.
