I have personal issues with clutter. I, personally, am very minimalist and like a clean slate. I like to throw everything away.
The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That's not simple.
Clutter, either mental or physical, is the sign of a healthy curiosity.
My friends tease me because I don't like clutter. I'm not someone who gets attached to things.
I hate belongings. I hate clutter. It really bothers me because I can't think properly. If you've got distractions in front of you, your mind goes nuts.
But, after all, the aim of art is to create space - space that is not compromised by decoration or illustration, space within which the subjects of painting can live.
One of my 'Secrets of Adulthood' is: Somewhere, keep an empty shelf. I know where my empty shelf is, and I treasure it.
I don't get people who want to live in a showroom.
Simplicity is key. Some people like really high-tech kitchens, where you have warming drawers and ice makers and storage for a million different things. Honestly, for me, I need an oven, a stove top, a fridge and a sink.
Tidiness makes me think of held breath, of suspended animation.
