A family ripped open by a brutal murder. Belief in the justice system ripped open by misguided police actions. A world of ideal no longer intact. Made from the book, A Rip in Heaven, this piece is fragile, like the lives we lead. Life as we know it can change in a moment.
After reading this true story of a horrible crime and its aftermath, I had to make an artwork from this book. It touched me that much. The murder that happened near where many of my St. Louis relatives live. It’s a powerful story that made me question so much– about law enforcement, good intentions and the current state of our justice system.
