| Beverly Buchanan (American, 1940-2015)
Beverly Buchanan was born in Fuquay, North Carolina, and was raised by her great-aunt and uncle in South Carolina. She had a master's degree in parasitology and in public health. Although accepted to medical school, she decided instead to pursue her art.
Buchanan said of her work, "My work is a logical progression of my early interest in textures and surfaces and walls. The early "walls" were lonely, freestanding, fragmented things. When I lived in New York I was looking for things that were demolished. That gave them character. I liked to imagine who might have lived in the apartment, and whose home it might have been. Each family that moved in repainted the walls their color. When a building is torn down the various layers of color are exposed. It is almost surgical--like looking through a microscope and looking at different layers of tissue and media."
See Buchanan's Family Tree House, 2009 as part of 20 Years at CAM. 20 Years opens February 25 and showcases CAM's most memorable exhibitions over the past two decades. |
