Mixed Media
Beverly Buchanan was an American sculptor and photographer known for her wood constructions and architectural interventions that engaged vernacular building traditions, particularly those of the American South. Working primarily in found timber and salvaged materials, she created structures that referenced shotgun houses, slave cabins, and improvised dwellings, treating them as documents of resilience and cultural memory. Her practice merged sculpture with documentary photography, using both media to honor marginal architectures and the communities that inhabited them. Buchanan's work appeared in major institutional collections and exhibitions during the 1980s and 1990s.
