Creative Clutter

We have been having an amazing time at Verdigris, the place is being well used and at last looks like a real art studio with paint splatter, plaster, glue and overspray on just about every surface in the workshop. I would like to say the marks have been strategically placed to set the ambiance but alas I am just
a messy artist.

No matter how hard I try I cannot for the life of me work in a tidy, orderly manner, it just doesnt feel right, I have to have everything out at my fingertips to feel realy comfortable when I am creating. It does mean I have to spend a bit of time, well a lot of time really at the end tidying and cleaning but thats what works for me. I see pictures on websites of other artists studios that are pristine and it makes me wonder how their creative juices flow in such
a tidy space I have purchased heaps  of drawers and containers over time so thought I would have a go at some sort of order in my studio  so I recently spent hours sorting and labeling them so that everything had a place. For a short while it all looked pretty neat and orderly but in my world of structured chaos that was very short lived. I think it could have something to do with my unique filing system (Take it out of one draw and return it to wherever it fits).
