THE STORY BEHIND THE THRONE

“I needed that.”

Alex Don Dip

I hadn’t painted in over 30 years.

I picked up this chair a year ago with plans to do something with it. Then a good friend passed away, and out of nowhere I felt like painting.

While I was working, I asked neighbors walking by to add a brushstroke. One passerby painted one straight white paint stripe on the left armrest.

He said, “I needed that.”

That’s when it hit me. So did I.

I call this piece “Society Will Drain You.”

What’s something you used to love doing that you haven’t done in years?
