Paint the Floor / by Chris Maynard

Studio Floor June 2020 WEB.jpg

Like a bird needs to keep its feathers clean and neat, I found that my cluttered studio was getting in the way of my creative process. I am slowly renovating, organizing, and cleaning it. This is an ongoing project that includes building a climate controlled storage space in my barn. More immediately, I put castors on the flat files, desks, and cutting table and moved a lot of packing stuff and frames into my barn for the summer as well as painted the floor. It was just unpainted cement with a lot of stains and marks from previous projects. As a creative sort of person, I thought of all sorts of ideas for the floor, like painting large feather designs using many colors. I opted for two colors with this simple design down the middle. What do you think?
