Tyger, Tyger! / Butterfly Cornucopia / Lost Soul / Untitled

Tim Budden, born in Wales, visited Taiwan more than a decade ago, and has not left ever since. After settling down in Taiwan, Budden worked as an English teacher; however, he accidentally found inspiration in a paper cutting book that a friend gave him, which rekindled his childhood dream of becoming an artist. He now expresses his experiences in Formosa through his infinitely imaginative cut paper artwork.
For this year’s Very Fun Park exhibition, Budden carefully studied the colors and patterns of i prefer’s seasonal line, and integrated them into his work. The artist sees both paper cutting and clothing as a “second skin,” allowing us to cover up just enough while showing the world what we want it to see.
