This body of work was created in response to a series of movies that I watched in church during Revelations week when I was younger. The movies dealt with the morning after Christ came and if you were not saved you had to stay on the earth with all of the other sinners. This is a subject that not too many people like to talk about, myself included. I felt that this would be a way for me to deal with this subject almost therapeutically. It was a subject that terrified me for years and I finally felt the need to confront it. And so that is why I started researching prophecies about the end of the world and trying to recreate what I felt would be a billboard or a newspaper rock type of message center where you could see the different prophecies and know what signs to look out for. This body of work was exhibited as a solo show and as part of a group show at two seperate galleries on the University of Arizona campus.
