I'm right with you. I'm looking at moving across the country wherever I end up enrolling (been accepted to a few places for painting). I made a move similar to this about 3 years ago and my work stopped dead in its tracks for about 6 months after the move. I definitely agree about the energy of the studio space etc, so I'm trying to find a way around the "block" I fear may be coming.
I think I'm going to try and put myself in the mindset that this move is actually just another art project I'm working on. I'm going to take my time moving and document the process through drawing, writing and taking photos. As long as I don't stop making art for a long period of time, I think the transition will be easier.
I also bought several plastic bins that I use to seperate tools, and art-making things (brushes, paint etc) from my everyday stuff. Then I just have to move a few bins to my studio and a few into my bedroom at the new destination and I should be pretty well set up. That's just me though.
Check out the book "Art and Fear" (by David Bayles and Ted Orland) as well. That's a must-have book during a huge transition like this.
