Defining Moment:

Fall 2020 — Roses and structure entwined; softness engineered into permanence

Magda Butrym

(

2014 – present

)

mahg-dah boot-rim

Butrym sculpts emotion.

Roses twisted from silk, wool molded into memory — her garments balance nostalgia and architecture.

Romanticism is engineered, fragility disciplined.

She builds tenderness with logic, giving feeling a framework.

Structural Focus

Body as Measure

Human scale, movement, or wear calibrates the work. Proportion is felt physically rather than visually alone.

In Magda Butrym’s work, this approach appears where sculptural volume engages the body.

Position

Body as Measure

Human scale, movement, or wear calibrates the work. Proportion is felt physically rather than visually alone.

In Magda Butrym’s work, this approach appears where sculptural volume engages the body.

Form is governed by rigid rules, limits, and non-negotiable constraints.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Gesture functions as structure through disciplined, repeatable action.

Form is constructed around the body through material, proportion, and movement.

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.
