Note the audio-video plus visual arts possibilities. I keep these at my fingertips intentionally.
There is a sensory reduction space in the left corner, behind the curtain.
I have a wall where I put up 8 images sometimes to compare and contrast and let my mind wander.
There is a collage of ideas on this “thinkin’ wall”.
A sensory rich environment is helpful for creative exploration, I often find. I like to have “levels” of possibilities around me.
If I become tired of standing, I can kneel on these pads.
If I don’t want to kneel, I can sit at this chair.
If I want to sit at a desk, I have an active seat.
If I want to feel more grounded, I can sit on the floor with a foam cushion.
If I want to feel more comforted, I can enter the sensory reduction space, where there is a blanket and some pillows on the ground.
And, finally, if I want to have a qualitatively different experience and lay down flat in the ground, I can do so beneath this mandala gazing installation.
All in all, this space is not very large, but I have managed to pack in a lot of “levels” of sitting and laying affordances.
Then, there’s the pacing patterns on the floor. I’ll have to share those another time.
