The only difficult thing we're going to be in Q is getting a sheet of 8 by 4 hardboard

homes strapped to the top of your car.

I know, I can imagine.

Welcome to episode 3 of Art Juice, behind the scenes conversations about making art and the creative life with me Louise Fletcher and me Alice Sheridan.

Today we're going to be talking studio space and motivation.

But first I regularly what have you been working on segment?

So Alice, what have you been up to this week? I have been having a studio tidy up, but
