Back Alley, Minneapolis, 2002

When I got back from France, I looked all over northern New Mexico for that garage door. It wasn’t that French air, eight hours ahead on another continent. It wasn’t that June, with my forty years in my arms. I tried to paint several other garage doors to make up for it. They were good paintings, but somewhere inside me it didn’t matter. I wanted that one door then, and that door wanted me. That missed opportunity was good, I guess. I grew to know garage doors through it. It made me hungry for them.

I could have used the paper I had then and done the garage door the way Matisse did the chair, I lamented as I stood in the Matisse museum. Of course, I’d squished whole pink Cadillacs into pictures, but this was not about squishing the garage door in. This was about letting it live bigger than the paper.
