Jessica Carbine Creative space

Creative Space 

For me a creative space can be anywhere I feel at home whether it be in a studio, at home or outside, I have always been a go with the flow kind of person so my creative space is quite versatile. As a kid my dad use to take my family and I on a lot of  trips we would just spend the day and drive to all sorts of places and I still draw inspiration from a lot of these places. Most the time we would go to more remote areas like, out in the desert or up in the mountains away from people, we also went to a lot of old (a lot of times abandon) towns.  When we went to these places we would often just sit in a nice place like a lake shore or forest and relax, during this time I would draw, take pictures or even play the guitar with my dad.

 These places taught me that you can create anywhere because your creativity isn't rooted in one place its in you so as long as you have that with you can create anywhere. 
Some days I'll fill a pack with a few things I need, water, sketchbook, camera etc... then I'll hop in my car and drive until I find a place that's interesting, sometimes its a familiar place sometimes its not, I'll hike for a bit then I'll sit down and draw or what ever I feel like. 
 I don't necessarily have to be alone but this is often times how I prefer to spend my time when I'm stuck. There are some mediums that really root me, photo developing, sculpture mixed media etc... for these I just need my tools and my music then I can work at home or in the studio depending on my mood.
