Personal Inspiration
Recently I spent time putting together new furniture for my
room and I was the only one in my family who really seemed to get the
instructions and the feel of how everything fit together. I know it doesn’t
really sound like an inspirational thing but something about the diagrams and
shapes just helped me relax and focus. I’m a person who values structure and
organization, thanks to a mild form of OCD, and when I can line things up and
sort them in a coherent manner it puts me at ease. In this sense putting the
furniture together was something that I enjoyed doing and felt comfortable with
and because of this I’ve decided I’m going to experiment with drawing diagrams
and using geometric shapes more. I usually use very loose, natural kind of
shapes and I think maybe this would make a good change for me and perhaps work
as a way of helping myself focus. I like diagrams because they are linear and
coherent which I think is something some of my art could use more of as I am
much more prone to symbolism and/or indirect meaning and/or no meaning.
I completely understand that feeling. IKEA furniture is my favourite.
