In the studio/works in progress
Consider
the season (hot or cold? Canberra is a place of four distinct seasons)
the work schedule (a deadline near or far)/hours of sustained work per day
the project (personal, commission, exhibition)
physical scale of the work or quantity of works and space required
stage of the work (testing, creating, making, carving, drying, firing, packing etc)
research trips/travel disrupting and/or informing the work process.
