About The Artwork

Requires framing to be properly displayed. You park the car next to the rectory. I pour out a Gatorade bottle of urine (from the nonstop trip) into a sewer in front of the chapel. Are we at a wedding? There's the shrill whistle of the wind between us + there's the horses snuffling + rutting their soft snouts together in the courtyard. Wait, what? Are they getting married? Can this be an old Gene Autry flick where horse fall in love + commit to have + hold + what not?) The urine catches fire + smoke wriggles up through the holes of a manhole cover overwritten by the smell of arabica invisible but for its heady handshake with olfactory fans. Inside the church a fountain, an anvil, some booze, TinTin posters, a creepy, crumbling christian mural, the cast of Knives Out (except for those who’ve died) smoke, mirrors, Jesus freaks in hobo pajamas, a pack of rowdy dogs + a sunglasses kiosk like the ones you see in malls. There's alot here obviously. There are things we feel we must be working on. It's a little muddled. Wait, maybe it's a blinking mountain we' glimpse through the stained glass methods we've measured yet left unleaded. It's supposed to be a future state. 1st there is a mountain then there is no mountain then there is. There's this commotion (who owns these noisy dogs?!) + each has its own pillar lead. Everything is in silos + to see only the commonalities is to oversimplify. Something fishy in your eager rush to simplify; a wiff of stank in your cloying desire to mitigate. Whoever you are and however you got into this narrative nave. Ok Ok we’re in a dream in a freakin church! Enough with the meta fiction already! Metadata inside the Dada yada yada. Kiki Dee’s dad, Freaky Dee, plays his toy organ. People (or horses) are trying to get hitched here! It's the mural that stinks of nutmeg + piss if you scratch it then sniff it? Smell my finger. Painfully prosaic, this maudlin mural, but worth analysis when you're bored with sermons. Sshh! Here comes the bride!
