From the Desk(s) of…Susie Ghahremani

And lastly, this artist has not one desk, but three desks to show us! As a painter, Susie Ghahremani needs as many horizontal surfaces as she can get. Especially when she’s preparing for a show, her whole house transforms into her workspace.

All the desks shown here double also as a sneak preview (Lucky us!) for Susie’s upcoming show called “The Wild Life” opening on August 16th at Giant Robot in Los Angeles.

Susie’s drafting table is her scanning and shipping station. Currently, this desk is housing most of the paintings from “The Wild Life” as they await being scanned for archiving purposes.

This desk (and this one is my personal fave) is Susie’s painting desk, an old school desk she got from a guy liquidating furniture from an LA public school. She figures it’s probably ergonomically horrible, but likes how it supports her arm as she’s painting tiny. She also thinks the school association makes her really dive in and focus when she’s sitting there!

And lastly this desk of goodies, is her product desk, which is currently displaying pieces of an aerial installation Susie is doing for her upcoming show.

Thank you, thank you, thank you again Grace for letting me guest blog! Thanks everyone for reading my posts and for your comments and thank you also to the artists/designers who shared images of their workspace! I really enjoyed blogging here (probably more so than on my own blog!)–it was a nice diversion from things I actually should be doing like packing up my studio! Ah…I’m rushing now as I write, if you can tell. Now I’m afraid that I’m just going to have to quickly shove things into boxes and just hope for the best. But I’m looking forward to moving into the new digs, an old 1920s bank!

ooo! Moving into an old bank? How cool is that?!

I love Susie’s desk, all the paint and supplies really feeds my creativity…too bad I’m at work and can’t just run to my craft room!

Thanks for guest blogging here, all your posts were excellent, I loved reading them! (Post more on your blog…I love reading it! :)
