The Table of Possibilities


 Marie Kondo would not approve. This table looks like a disorganized mess. Those who have ever experienced the throes of creative inspiration know that THIS is how we work, at least some of the time. There is no time to waste tidying up. We are busy selecting, rejecting, debuting, searching the small piles on the table, deciding whether those bits that look like useless scraps are the colors and shapes that we need to complete our vision for that particular collage. I photographed this table at the Quilt & Surface Design Symposium in a previous year. This year, we will be joining the classes online, from our homes. Families, do not freak out. This is what it sometimes takes to make art.
