MARCIE SCUDDER
The Space in Between
ARTIST STATEMENT:
At the tender age of not-quite-seventen, I entered Architecture school. There - I studied the art of spatial relations….of making order from chaos…of coloring within perfectly and precisely drawn straight lines.
I excelled and exceeded everyone’s expectations - including my own.
Recovery - I’ve heard said - happens in incremental steps…and over the course of a lifetime. It’s an ever-evolving process of letting go and changing one’s mind. It happens slowly and sometimes unknowingly - in the unseen moments..in the quiet seasons…in all those spaces in that in between.
In time — my professional training and architectural practice constrained and confined. I slowly shed those straight lines. They no longer defined.
This project is an exercise in my search for softness in curves…in the lines and shapes and forms without beginnings or ends.
Sometime…somewhere - I outgrew all that…and into something like this.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Marcie Scudder’s artist's journey began almost two decades ago as a means of slowing down and recording the world thru her camera’s lens.
As a self-taught photographic fine artist, writer and yogini – she believes in the transformative healing powers of daily practice as a means of connecting to the spirit that resides within.
By yoking together the ancient teachings of yoga with her passion and love for the animal and natural world, Marcie’s art acts as a visual and verbal expression of simplicity, silence, solitude and self.
Like life itself, her art is an ever-evolving process. She likens it to a vinyasa yoga practice, a continuous connection between movement and breath.
Currently, Marcie lives and works in Stowe, VT.
From her treetop studio, she finds inspiration in the changing seasons and majestic views of the mountains.
