Not much is left inside of this church, the only house of worship still standing in Bodie. The Ten Commandments, painted on oilcloth, once hung behind its pulpit. Unfortunately, those commandments, including “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” have long since been stolen. There is really nothing left to this place but darkness. And so I use light to abstract this image, and hone it down to a bench and lectern. We see very little, and hear less. The image speaks of silence. This empty, soulless church, which in its day saw many a funeral, has finally become a ghost itself.
