Since I already had my Gocco Printer out to personalize a handmade album for a client, I figured I’d use it for my art project for the day. I printed out several lotus blossom images on various sorts of paper including this red vellum already Gocco’ed with some calligraphy from my grandfather.
I intended to do a complicated, layered collage with all the different printed scraps, but then was drawn to the simplicity yet boldness of this arrangement. Reminds me that sometimes the best option is the simplest one! Given all the different balls I’ve been juggling in my work and personal life, I could use some simplification and focus. This image will connect me with that.
How do you bring simplicity and focus into your life? What do you do to clear the clutter?

i love this piece. it’s gorgeous!
well, i’ve got quite a bit of clutter, but i’m working on it by separating things into 3 areas (keep, donate, and toss) and then going from there.

I love your Art Everyday stuff. What a great idea. Maybe I’ll do it… next year! NaBloPoMo is about as much commitment as I can handle right now!
As far as clearing the clutter… I just posted on that (http://www.true-purpose.org/1/post/2007/11/coping-strategies.html). But I find that meditation clears the mental clutter, which provides me with the fortitude to deal with the physical clutter!
