Creative people tend to nest. A professor in their classroom, a writer in their home office, a woodworker in their shop, an artist in their studio—these spaces are full of work surfaces like desks and drafting tables, drawers and pegboards full of tools, pinboards and chalkboards and whiteboards, scraps of paper, photos, books, printouts, works-in-progress, post-its, and more. They are messy, informal, mixed together, freeform, and personal.

<n>Immaculate Heart College Art Department Rules</n> by <n>Corita Kent</n>, c. 1967, with a quote by <n>John Cage</n>.

“When you love someone, you can’t just tell them,” she said. “What do you mean?” her friend asked.

“If you say ‘I love you’, how are they supposed to understand? It’s like trying to comprehend the universe.

You have to show them quietly. A coffee. An extra day off. Room to stand under the same umbrella.

Take the universe apart and give them the stars.”
