Abrahm Guthrie grew up in a small barn that the family before his had turned into a temporary house. His dad cut firewood on the weekends and taught every one of his children the importance of having two winters' worth of wood carefully stacked to dry in the woodshed. His mom taught him the potential of crystals and divined his future from a deck of animal-themed tarot cards. As a child he spent his life by a creek, eating dry ramen noodles and building spaceships to leave the planet. When his parents fought he and his sister were sent to their grandmother’s house. Their grandmother kept them busy feeding and grooming her varied collection of animals, which included, a fox, a doe, a family of opossum, a monkey, three or four rabbits, and a multitude of cats, dogs and chickens, to name a few. Nights there were spent listening to endless hours of dice roll across the tablecloth and watching alien documentaries that his uncle put on to help piece together the story of his abduction.
Abrahm continues to make narrative based art. He works to combine elements of nostalgia, myth, fiction and contemporary life.
