A monolithic slanting figure, covered with corrugated cardboard with shapes of rooftops cut from below – an unusual interpretation of a most usual weather phenomenon, in a meticulous, bookbinder-like, manner. A section of a wave of rain moved by the wind. By constructing models of immaterial phenomena (such as rain, sunlight, or silence), with the use of the simplest, and at the same time short-lived material, such as paper, Budny achieves the effect of an exceptional lightness and unpretentiousness of the sculptural form. His method is not of forming, but of thinking about form. Rain is not rain, but “only“ a thought on the subject.
