Open Studio at Chateau Orquevaux

To be honest, I wasn't really looking forward to open studio sessions today. I was set to dive right back into my own mess and keep working out the pieces in progress. Instead, I tidied up the space and helped my little studio mate organize her presentation. Too quickly, three o'clock came and all of the artists crammed into the first studio. We visited each artist studio in the Chateau and heard two readings by writers before we headed to the stable studios for the final presentations. We ended the event in my shared studio with refreshments of fruit, cheese, and pink Champagne chosen by Gracie.
\nIt wasn't what I would have chosen for this specific day but the studio visits really were what I needed. Talking with other creatives, hearing and learning about their work and objectives is encouraging and inspiring. It opens possibilities and offers new perspective. For me, I especially enjoy the results of talking about my own process with people that have a glimpse into what it takes to make art. They appreciate the effort even when the produ t ow so different from their own. That type of respect is not commonplace. It is also helpful to talk through process and voice ideas. I often find that through this verbalization I am reenergized and refocused for my next work session.
\nIncluded here is a snapshot of my session in progress. The photo was taken by Ziggy Attias.
