I had Don Nace's series "Messages from God" on the back of my mind as I was working on this. I find these situations so amusingly pitiful‒ I'd get up if I could! Now will somebody pick up that damned phone...?

A chaotic, densely textured drawing with a dark central mass and an abstract figure in a wheelchair holding a telephone. On the lower half, a person is collapsed on the ground. Near them is the other end of the phone, with a speech bubble that reads, “Get up.” The overall mood is bleak, with contrasting sketchy and heavily shaded areas. Ink drawing with sparse, sketchy lines and dense crosshatching. A central barren tree stretches vertically through the composition. An angel is visibly stuck in its upper branches, wings caught and body draped across the limbs. At the base of the tree is a dense grouping of disembodied heads. On the ground below, a man lies flat, saying “Help me.” In the lower right corner is a neatly outlined bed, and in the middle right, a figure enters through an open door. At the bottom of the image, the phrase “Angel stuck in a tree” is written in plain script.

caption was in part inspired by jenny holzer's "truisms" series, as a personal reminder that i am best off alive and healthy than suffering. it is not a judgment on others.

more about truisms {worthy of your critical thought}

A section of a notebook with a printed sheet of Jenny Holzer’s Truisms placed over it. The paper is filled with a dense list of short, capitalized statements, each a standalone thought. The formatting is stark and uniform, resembling a set of instructions or proclamations. One line, “Expiring for love is beautiful but stupid,” is marked, drawing attention to it.

a flaming aura emits from a raised finger and atop her head. small figures trudge up the mountain to be closer to her.

not sure how i got away with posting this without alt text. image depicts an illustration of a winged feminine figure standing atop a mountain, along with the words: "WOMAN ON TOP." the paper is burnt along the edges, as well as inside the figure's body.
