Doors. To most people, doors are viewed as rather mundane, everyday objects that serve a practical purpose. But in my recent travels, I've come to see doors as objects of art. I know, I know... "doors as objects of art"? Have I bumped my head?? But I'm serious.
My fascination began during a visit to Tunisia. My friend David and I had the opportunity to visit Sidi Bou Said, a picturesque blue and white village overlooking the Bay of Tunis. What caught my attention more than the scenery and the carpet and sounvenir shops was the doors. They were like works of art 'framed' by archways or door frames, accented by door knobs, rivets, paint.
Doors have an air of mystery to them. What lies behind them? I guess that's what makes them 'artistic' to me.
Here's a few of my favourites:
