While I was at work, even though I’m not supposed to, I got down on my hands and knees and I photographed this door stop, then when I got home I made this drawing. There is beauty everywhere. I hope when I finish the painted version, which I already started, that it will convey the poetry of things that aren’t noticed because they’re small and ubiquitous. They don’t do anything to grab your attention, these tiny insignificant things, which is the opposite of what you’re supposed to do in art, if you want to be noticed, get famous, or have a career. I’m going to stick with this door stop anyway, and make a painting of it.
