Heaven or Home is an immersive sculptural installation of a north Georgia pond inside of a small closet. It gives the viewer(s) the opportunity to sit on the dock beside the water at dusk; to touch the moisture, listen to the beings and feel the weight and the heat of a thick, southern, summer night's cloak.

This work was built and installed at two different times in two different locations in New Mexico.
