Wrought Iron Lock Bolt
|
"…I was always attracted to the simple…made beautiful…or the beauty and elegance in simplicity. Just look at the Spanish wrought-iron door bolt shaped into a spitting dragon—perhaps symbolically to keep out the unwanted. No excess of materials here." Lloyd Cotsen, "Looking Behind My Eye," in The Extraordinary in the Ordinary, p. 20.
