Scott Mutter - (Lauren V)

For over thirty years, Scott Mutter employed classic photomontage techniques to create a world of his own -- a more perfect world. The hallmark of Mutter's remarkable imagery is the distinct sense that the elements of each picture belong together, even though the combination may violate the laws of physics. These photographs, which Scott calls "Surrational Images," have a poetic quality that invites highly personal interpretations.They are provocative as well as evocative.

Mutter often accompanies poetry with his images as well:

We come from beyond, 

and we go from whence we came,

courting the hands of time.

                     

We are bound by nothing

 so much as our imagination. 

and others such as 

I'm a pilgrim on the edge,
on the edge of my perception
We are travelers at the edge,
we are always at the edge of our perceptions.
