the mormons (collage, acrylic paint and pencil on wood)

something is burning

kick the ball there

in the hole

where you were

in the field

run run run

little kid

the rabbit is died

in the back yard

the dog chewing its black head

its stomach a red balloon

and we are all

dying too

ALI  (paper mache and inkjet paper on wood and newspaper)

heaven's pretty cool

all the buildings in heaven have white windows

mondays are wash days and the whole place smells like bleach

jesus considers himself a bit of a songwriter

and no one has the heart to tell him he's just not very good

it's all that awful knowledge and all-knowingness

it really gets in the way of writing a good pop song

oh, you can have baby's in heaven of course (it's heaven!)

and they just appear out of thin air

there is a lot of friction between the people that were born on earth

and the ones that were born and grew up in heaven, though

there's been some discussion about whether or not jesus was an earth baby

because he was conceived in heaven but raised by that crazy lady on earth

(it's weird that she never made it into heaven)

here's how cool heaven is: we don't even think about all

the people that are suffering for all eternity just a few floors down from us

that's pretty neat!

jesus wrote a song once called, 'heaven helps itself to the earth baby's first'

i really tried to like it
