White Trash Series

Alsbrook's White Trash series challenges perceptions of the history of the civil war and associated class distinctions by creating miniature portraits of 18th century historical figures in graphite and oils on a base of discarded pieces of trash.[6][7][8] Her work was sparked in part by an interest in the tradition of miniature paintings on ivory,[9] and also by the comments of a women's history professor friend on historical biases in art.[10] She began developing the series in 2004 while living in Charleston, South Carolina.[11]

Alsbrooks creates miniature portraits by creating an oval shape that is gessoed onto the trash. Then she draws the image on the gesso in graphite and paints it in oils before varnishing it. She says of the process of finding materials: "The trash is found flat, on the street. One cannot flatten the trash. It just doesn't work. It must be found so that there are no wrinkles in the middle and the graphic should be well centered. Then the portraits are found that are complimentary to the particular trash."[12] One of her favorite times to pick up trash is after the yearly Philadelphia Mummers Parade.[21]
