Adjectives to describe work...

As part of my "Works on Paper - The City" I felt it would be useful to use a list of adjectives to give a goal for a variety of individual works. So here's an initial list:

symmetrical, asymmetrical, energetic, balanced, meticulous, imaginative, resourceful, seamless, flowing, frenetic, elegant, bold, humorous, challenging, ambitious, provocative, soothing, peaceful, fun, playful

Or how about...
matte
extravagant
baroque
cascading
unimpeachable
exhilarating
shivery
silvery
tinselly
gleaming
many-sided
iconic
heiratic
glamorous...?

and then I discovered this list of 5 lettered words with the word "art" in them:
apart
artal
artel
artsy
boart
carte
carts
chart
darts
earth
farts
garth
harts
heart
karts
lyart
marts
parts
party

quart
scart
smart

swart

Studio 2.0 - a bit tidier!

After a bit of cleaning, and moving junk out, my new studio is taking on shape. I'm looking at my older work and thinking that it's not as good as it should be for my new studio, which is a good feeling, as it means that I'll be pushing myself to create much better work from now on.
