Their Transparency






This piece is a representation of my strange, disturbing, and bizarre dumpster find. Each totem pole has a name of a relative or family found in the letters. They are impaled because of my own personal confusion and belief that this whole family is covered in blood shed. 

Is Matthew alive? I don’t know. Why are his and some of Audrie's belonging in the trash? I haven’t a clue. 

The items from their trash are the test tubes, the pipes, the creepy Buddha pages were torn from Audrie's book, the coiled air pump, the large glass bottle, and the totem poles, which were previously structured on a basket. 

The overall concept speaks of how addictions can break and distort a family. The drugs that Audrie and Matthew began to consume tore apart their marriages leaving them hopeless and broken. 

The dysfunctionality of their family appears to be hidden, but is clearly transparent.
