Blue is my favorite color.My car is blue. My favorite nail polish is blue. My childhood bedroom was blue. Summer 2018: I start really noticing utilitarian doors, ladders, grates and railings. All painted bright, rich blue. Like Frida’s house. I snap photos andcollect them. It becomes an unstoppable need. The art of looking and noticing. A deeply satisfying layer added to every stroll around the block. A rich, confident blue. I soak up these moments when I walk. Seeking them out and stowing them away. A calm touchstone after a long day. A game of “I Spy.” A letter between us and whoever left it there. Me, you and utility blue.
