Renata Buziak
Renata Buziak was born in Poland and moved to Australia in 1991. Her photographic projects include the Gardens series of montages, the Mirror series, Macro Photography and Bodyscapes. Of her project Biochromes-My Garden she writes:
“Nature can be physically and spiritually rejuvenating and has been the main inspiration for my artwork. [This] 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 microscopic pigments, the vegetative mater, photographic 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, reflects natural environmental processes and stimulates an appreciation of the natural world.”
