Where Is Auntie 'Em?

Auntie Em had a problem. She had a hard life. She didn’t finish school, never worked, never married, didn’t socialize much, but she did have one close friend; Alcohol. She was never without her bottle. It was always by her side, drying her hard luck tears, warming her cold heart, and never complaining. What a great friend! Whenever we couldn’t locate Auntie ‘Em, we’d just look around the house on all the floors, underneath or behind the furniture, and eventually she’d show up. I decided to do this collage in her honor.
