Roadkill Paintings (Found Series) invites viewers to interrogate the content they consume and the systems that produce it. Glabb combines found images with found materials to present familiar depictions of violence. The repeated imagery of dead animals should disturb, but instead slips easily into one’s field of vision, revealing a growing desensitization to violent content. 

The series also draws a parallel between the brutalization of animals and the systemic mistreatment of marginalized communities, particularly Queer and Indigenous peoples, who are often dehumanized under the guise of “traditional values” and far-right ideologies. Roadkill Paintings urges a reconsideration of our relationships with violence and beauty.
