Screwed, acrylic paint, 131 screws, 70 white balloons, house paint, clear glaze on wood, 68 in x 33 ½ in x 12in, 2017 (Installation)

Screwed expresses how I perceived my family and I handled the abuse being out in the open. Screws were installed from the backside to poke out at the viewer, into two rubber ducks. The duck shapes represent childhood, screws was when the news of the abuse come out, and the action of balloons being forced onto the screws letting out paint expressing reactions of my family.
