When i made a scrapbook about my life at home during COVID, I felt compelled to draw the different work spaces for my hobbies. To prepare for a creative project i like an empty space, to get a fresh start and to clear my mind and then let it focus on what i want to create. So i am always looking for an empty table, a place that is mine for the time being, allthough I am surrounded by my communal household and the collection of materials that form the basis of my work. Space is important to me and opens new possibilities, I can just feel it stretching my mind.
