The clothespin is an everyday object that Sharbono explores in this piece, asking us to both see its beauty from pragmatic and nostalgic perspectives – not only the beauty of its color and form.
At the same time, he tells us a bit about individuality, the things that make us the same and yet also distinguish us. Along with his wife, Allyssa, Sharbono started 62 Doors, an artist community based in downtown Minot, N.D.
