MARSHALL SCHEUTTLE: Artist Statement
In youth we create new sacraments, build hidden sanctuaries and cry out in defiance of our heritage. Borderland is a venture into these youthful dream songs; the time after a ritual has begun but before its resolution, the hypnopompic arena between wakefulness and sleep, the place between two worlds.
My photography explores individuals who exist in this Borderland, struggling with ritual, loss and the embrace of roles that are inherently mystic. The landscapes interspersed with the portraiture are meant to exist as sanctuaries for these individuals, islands of memory and longing, a ghostly homesickness or a deja vu of separation.
Jung proposed that in this Borderland we walk eternally between two opposing forces: the Depths and the Time. Pulled by the longing for one, stretching to embrace the immediacy of the other, it is this conflict that ultimately animates the world I have attempted to create through my work.
