BUCHANAN, Beverly
Hope This Helps You Survive Your Gallery Visit

Buchanan is best known for her later work, her sculptures of shacks, her architectural fragmentations. But she always kept a practice deeply producing various forms of printed matter. Personal notebooks, journals, scrapbooks, artist statements, clippings, photographic materials, illustrations, business cards and various zines, all were integral in her multi-layered oeuvre and are essential in understanding how she navigated between the various elements of impermanence, control, and the monumental. They also show how she used wit and fragility as a method or even a force of emotion. [publisher's note]
