Renata Buziak

Nature can be physically and spiritually rejuvenating and has been the main inspiration for my artwork. Biochromes My Garden series focuses on the process of organic decomposition and its effect on photographic material. Images created by this process are formed from the colours of natural, microscopic pigments, the vegetative materials used and the chemical and biological reactions of bacterial decomposition. Preserving these exposures creates an image of the complex interaction between the plants and microbes, producing a spiritually invigorating display of environmental processes, encouraging an appreciation of all elements of nature, and draws our attention to the cycle of decay and renewal.
