As a visual artist who was educated first in math and physics, Bud prefers to explore the analytical side of the art world. He’s interested in the relationship between form and function and drawn to investigate the various connections linking graphic elements, the applied science of simple machines, and the inspiration of the natural world. Bud uses the term “graphic abstraction”, with a concentrated focus on physics, to describe his conceptual process. His work engages questions about how we understand the world in which we live. Bud and his wife, Ursula, have extensively studied the work of Alexander Calder, an American artist who changed the course of modern art by developing an innovative method of sculpting, bending, and twisting wire to create 3D “drawings in space”.
