Fresh Start


Fresh Start

Time to start off with a blank inspirational slate.

This is the view above my computer monitor. Note the sliver of light coming from the small window in the upper left of the frame. Other than that slim view of the outside, I rely on what gets up on this board for visual stimulation. And each new year's day, all of it comes down.

At SCAD, we had a similar wall, the Photo Wall, which was about 14 x 14 feet in size, and almost everyone put something up there, either to be criticized, analyzed, or just for fun. It was a vital part of our creative days; to see what everyone was up to and react (either internally externally) to it.

At EBD, Ellen kept 25% of her entire office wallspace covered with stuff that she liked. The sheer scale of it was amazing. And there was a lot for the eyes to consider.

I'm not sure if either of those walls are still around. I hope they are; they made my day every time I saw them. This little wallspace, then, is my nascent Wall, in recognition of Proust's statement that the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
