The Artist - A Visual Journey

Beverly Buchanan’s The Artist – A Visual Journey is a small book made up of a series of drawings and personal aphorisms. Photocopied and spiral-bound, the work tells us that there is always another option to being an artist: artist or skilled professional, artist or machine, artist or animal. This illustrative articulation of how artists constitute their everyday choices puts questions of social utility to work, so much so that the attempt to articulate the difference between the perceptiveness of an artist and that of an X-ray machine is found in the distinction between a mirror alone and one before which fruit and flowers have been laid. - Park McArthur and Jennifer Burris Staton
