be here now

WITHIN EACH SOFT LINE, BOLD SHAPE, AND DRAMATIC SHIFT OF COLOR, BUKOVEC GUIDES VIEWERS ON A POETIC JOURNEY THROUGH HER OWN PROCESS OF REFLECTIVE HEALING. EACH MIXED MEDIA WORK PRESENTS ITSELF PLAYFULLY THROUGH MOMENTS OF INTENTIONAL GLITTER GLUE SPLATTER, NOSTALGIC AND WHIMSICAL CRAYOLA CRAYON MARKINGS, AND GESTURES OF WATERCOLOR. TAPPING INTO HER INNER CHILD AND BEGIN GROUNDED BY HER CURENT MOMENT, BUKOVEC HAS CREATED A VISUAL PLAYGROUND FOR HER AUDIENCE TO READ HER THOUGHT PROVOKING WRITINGS ABOUT FREEDOM AND TRANSFORMATION, WHILE FINDING JOY IN HER COLORFUL CREATIONS.

ONE WORK READS, “WHEN I CREATE - WHEN I MAKE AND LET GO … I FEEL MYSELF GETTING LOST IN THE BLENDS OF COLORS, THE DANCE OF LINE, AND THE PLAYFULNESS OF SHAPES … IS THIS FREEDOM?”

BUKOVEC ASKS VIEWERS TO REFLECT: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE FREE? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HERE, NOW?

FOR HER, PERSONAL FREEDOM IS FOUND WITHIN HER VISUAL JOURNALING PRACTICE AND DISCOVERING NEW WAYS TO BE PRESENT.
