At 35, Nick Doyle was broke for the third time. His partner gave him six months to decide whether he was still doing this. Six months later, he pulled a roll of denim out of a dumpster in Brooklyn, and his entire thesis on America suddenly fit in his hands. In this extract, the artist describes the precise moment of the click, the Dave Hickey line that guided him, and why the art world "essentially trades in painting." A pure turning-point story, for anyone who has ever doubted their own path.
