Remember a little while ago I had a photographer from the Sydney Morning Herald come to document my creative mess? Well, today was the day they ran the piece.
The story (and huge picture!) was in their colour lifestyle magazine called Essential. It was a bit exciting! Under the heading “Critical Mess” they had the tagline: Rejoice in the knowledge that an untidy desk spurs creativity. Amen to that, I say!
When I was first approached about this, I really did think that I would just have a couple of quotes that were used to support an article that was basically a book review - of the book “In a Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder” but there was a lot more of me in the article than I expected. It was nice to wake up to - weird but nice.
I had a look at the SMH site to see if I could link to the article here but I couldn’t find it online. edit: It’s on the SMH site now, so you can go read it online if you like.
While I was looking, I did find another really interesting article that you might like though - and please, how great is this photo - and I don’t even knit:
This other article was all about how the current generation is going green, and in so doing, turning back to the ways of our grandparents.
“Back in the late 1940s, life looked pretty simple. Climate change was the thing that happened with each new season and, while there was little talk about environmental concerns in the family home, commitment to thrift, conserving resources and canny housekeeping was certainly taken seriously.
But, now, as the reality of climate change hits us, we look to the past, to the lives our grandparents lived, for inspiration on how to live.” read the article here.
