I was delighted to discover the work of Beverly Buchanan recently, and, in particular, her site specific sculpture Marsh Ruins (1981) in Georgia, USA.
Made up of three sculptural mounds, arranged in a triangular formation, the work is submerged in water twice a day. It is ‘decrepit, forgotten, overgrown and broken’ not only because it has been destroyed by elemental forces and the movement of time, but also the wilful amnesia of white America. It speaks of ephemerality, vulnerability, and ghostly, immaterial love.
