Diana Butucariu: Modular Concept, 2019-2022
We live our lives at ever-increasing velocity, where time to reflect and create comes at high cost. To stay on an idea and develop it to its artistic conclusion is a rare luxury. Instead, I often find myself rushing to at least outline the pieces inhabiting my fantasy.
This project is an attempt to rethink some creative habits. In the creative process, I have taken to assembling art works by combining already crafted modules. The goal is to be able to experiment more with shapes and materials, while also producing interesting and large-scale works.
The modularity allows for an iterative design process, and enables works that would be difficult or impossible to create in one piece. Each new module enables new combinations. Over time the assemblies become more unpredictable, as the number of configurations grows exponentially with each addition.
