Arch Budzar

[Paul Ferguson]

"Budzar appropriates these alchemical illustrations and applies her child-like style to it, creating a series of playful images where a central, often feminine presenting figure, is interacting with the natural world around them. Their expressions range from neutral to positive, but never negative. They seem to either be floating in an imaginary space or have their feet firmly planted in the flat landscape around them. One piece, The Phenomenon of Light, showcases yet again another feminine figure with long red hair and moons covering their private parts. In their outstretched hands are grapes and what appears to be a round mirror, which can be read as gluttony and vanity respectively. From the figure’s left breast, stars shoot out. A dynamic natural landscape plays out behind them, with curving waves and winding rainbows., “The characterization of science and magick turning the wheel of the natural world is probably like one of the freakiest things you can make art about,” Budzar wrote."
