Jordan Buschur

Jordan Buschur's paintings focus on collections of objects ranging from stacked books to interiors of drawers, all united by a system of value based on mystery, sentimentality, and a matriarchal connection. Buschur received a B.A. in Studio Art from Goshen College (Goshen, IN) and an M.F.A. in Painting from Brooklyn College, the City University of New York. Her work has been shown in numerous locations, including exhibitions with the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts (Grand Rapids, MI), River House Arts (Toledo, OH), the Center for Book Arts (NYC), and Field Projects (NYC). She is currently the Community Digital Artist in Residence at the Toledo Museum of Art and has participated in residencies at the Wassaic Project, Chashama North, the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, and the Vermont Studio Center, as well as teaching residencies through the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art and the Sheldon Museum of Art. Awards include the Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award, the Kimmel Foundation Artist Award and the Charles Shaw Painting Award. Her work has been featured in print in New American Paintings and UPPERCASE Magazine, and online on The Jealous Curator, Young Space, and BOOOOOOOM, among others. Podcast interviews include I Like Your Work and Studio Break. She is a co-founder of Co-Worker Gallery and has curated exhibitions at Cuchifritos Gallery (NYC), Spring/Break Art Show (NYC), and the Neon Heater (Findlay, OH). Buschur has taught art to all ages and currently teaches drawing at the University of Toledo.

Statement
My paintings imply a human presence through depictions of accumulated collections. This group of paintings of individual decorative boxes is part of a larger painting series titled Decororator, an invented term combining decorator and horror vacui. Painting the small objects individually is equivalent to holding the object in my hand, examining it. This is exactly what I do when painting, and the observation is an act of love. The series centers on these questions: What is sentimental and how do feelings transfer onto objects? What identity is projected into the world through a carefully arranged collection? What stories are withheld, hidden beneath the object's surface?

These paintings share commonality with the work I created as the Community Digital Artist in Residence at the Toledo Museum of Art. The digital pieces feature paintings of books, with imagery appearing and disappearing on the covers in animated loops. The books, similar to the decorative boxes, are containers: for knowledge, stories, memories, secrets. Both series of paintings play with what we as humans conceal and reveal.
