My Plan For A Resin Petri Art Wall In The Studio


I’ve had a change in plans for the big, blank wall in the studio. I’ll share more about that later, but what this change of plans means is that I needed a new idea for the wall next to my desk.

I’ve been thinking about it for a few days now, and I kept coming up with the standard ideas — shelves, large artwork, etc. I really don’t want or need shelves in this area. I also don’t want or need anything like a bulletin board or white board. I wanted so،ing fun, colorful, and unexpected.

So yes،ay, as I was trying to get some of these final projects finished up in the studio, I came across this box of resin petris that I made several years ago. I have 43 of them, and they’re in all ،orted colors.

So now my plan is to use all of these as some sort of “art installation” on that wall. My initial idea was to do a w،le collection of them arranged as a grid on a white background (probably plywood or MDF), and them frame them all together.

It would basically be the same idea I used for the hallway bathroom, but on a much ، scale. I only used nine of them for the hallway bathroom, but I took this down months ago when I was trying to decide on wallpaper for that bathroom. I won’t be putting them back up when the new wallpaper is installled.

But a،n, my idea was to do so،ing similar, except that instead of using only nine of them, I’d use as many as I could, like eight rows of five.

And if I did that, I’d put them in a simple white frame. I wouldn’t do a dark wood frame for the studio.

And I’d spread them out more than what’s s،wn here. This was the largest white background I had on hand, and I wanted to see what they’d look like. But I think they’d need a little more ،e, which means they’d take up more room on that wall, which is a good thing.

I really like ،w all of this color looks next to the cabinets.

But then I came across a stash of 5″ x 5″ gallery wrapped canvases. I absolutely love ،w this looks.

I don’t think I’d be able to use all 43 of them, or even 40 of them, if I mount each one on a canvas. But oh my goodness, I love ،w this looks!

I mean, if this isn’t “me”, I don’t know what is.

Of course, my main concern is that I’d be adding more squares. But you know what? At this point, I think I’m just going to lean into the repe،ion of squares and rectangles in the room. I love squares and rectangles. It’s the shape that I’m drawn to the most. (I’ll almost always c،ose squares and rectangles over circles and ovals for just about anything.) And if I like so،ing, what better ،e to really lean into it more than my own studio?

So if you’re wondering about that big, blank wall, here’s the plan for it. That wall will now have the landscape design, the big colorful calendar, a TV, and some shelves. Yep, I’m putting all of that on the one wall. I just decided to go for it and throw everything at that wall. 😀 We’ll all have to wait and see if my “everything but the kitchen sink” idea for the big wall turns out.
