News stories like this one always plant a tiny seed of worry in me. It seems like all creative people habitually have a chaotic mess of a space. I would say that I am as creative as the next person (if not ‘arty’), but I abhor mess and cannot concentrate or come up with new ideas in a messy, dirty space. I find it distracting. I think best when everything around me is neatly ordered.

Do you think creativity and order are mutually exclusive?
