Anna Schuller – A Fading Generation

Anna Schuller‘s BFA Senior Solo Exhibition delivers high caliber digital photography. On view from March 16 – April 2, you are invited to stop in at the UCEN Fine Art Gallery located on the first floor. Experience her vision and her story through digital photographs taken on her travels through the back roads of Michigan and let her Artist’s Statement be your guide to “A Fading Generation.”

Artist’s Statement – “My parents grew up in Coeburn, Virginia then moved to Michigan in 1950. We spent our vacations traveling the back roads of Virginia, going up and down the mountain sides. I loved going there to visit and see the farms where my parents and their parents and families lived and raised farm animals, and planted gardens. The bounty from the gardens would be canned and put up for the winter. Then over the years these farms started fading as well as the earlier generations of family. This is what inspired me to travel the back roads of Michigan in search of those farm houses, barns and relics that were once part of a thriving community. I hope through my passion in photographic images of a fading generation it will inspire future generations to do the same.

I strive to create a body of work through visual imagery that reflects time past and present as I view it. My goal is to present a body of work that captures stories from my perspective and stimulates the viewers imagination to reflect on their own experiences.” —–Anna Schuller, Photographer
