Crafted in 2002
Gummo is a painted fragment of aftermath—a visual echo of a world spun sideways by disaster, then left to its own strange rhythm.Inspired by the raw, dreamlike drift of childhood after the tornado, this piece captures the wild freedom that follows collapse.No rules. No adults. Just instinct, boredom, beauty, and rot—braided into daily survival.The painting doesn’t judge. It just observes—like a cracked window looking out over forgotten chaos, where innocence and ruin play side by side.

Gummo
Acrylic on Canvas 18"W x 24"W
I painted Gummo painting series to remind myself of a kind of freedom that’s hard to find now—
the raw, unsupervised, chaotic kind I had as a kid.
Freedom to roam. To get dirty. To be wild without watching eyes.
This piece echoes the strange beauty of childhood after collapse—like the kids in Gummo, left to wander through a broken world with no rules but their own.
It’s about what happens when structure disappears, and something honest—something real—rises from the rubble.
