Collecting now has the reputation of an opportunistic pastime, a way of accumulating trophies, and living with difficult art both is and isn't a remedy for this — to maintain a conceptually rigorous or hard-to-install art work is on one level a thankless labor of love, and on another a kind of particularly elite humblebrag: Is there a more outlandish statement of privilege than lamenting how the water in your Jeff Koons installation is growing mold?

Yet it remains the more outlandish and idiosyncratic designs that mark Ms. Bode as an American original since, after all, it requires a particular kind of gumption to create men's wear inspired by one's interest in collecting cardboard milk bottle caps and old pennies (both of which the designer inserted into transparent PVC raincoats stitched up in grids); turn woolly stuffed animals into slippers; imprint monochrome images of baseball cards on shirts; and repurpose a flea market tablecloth find as a jacket embroidered with a map of Robinson Crusoe's island.

We read God's Debris and The God Delusion, debunked the logical proof of God's existence put forth by Aquinas, read the Bible as literature, and occasionally laughed at the more outlandish elements of certain stories — Lot's wife turning to a pillar of salt for looking over her shoulder, Joseph's brothers' inability to recognize him when he became pharaoh of Egypt, Noah's Ark and the idea that two of every species alive today could fit into one boat without all eating each other, the blood in the river and the frogs and the leeches; but we learned some lessons anyway, in Sunday school and in discussions at the dinner table, what my parents called the "point" of their atheist version of Judaism.
