I was so inspired to make bigger works, but at a time when funds were low, I realised doors were half the price of similar-sized canvases, and astonishingly good quality surfaces. Desperation calls for innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"329\" data-end=\"518\"\u003eThen I realised it was a very cool format for a canvas, with unusual dimensions. Something different.
