His problem is that he's making new saints. All the fascists in the world are now saints. I took two baskets of clothes, white shirts and things-they were all white—that I made dirty with a little bit of mud and hair and froze them with white glue so that they were hard. The piece is called *Shrouds and Swaddling Clothes of Decommissioned Saints*.
