Alex Buchan works as a prospector, excavating modern masculinity through sculptures and installations to present a caring, queer alternative that prioritizes empathy and resilience. His constructions of recontextualized objects and building materials combined with large scale prints offer windows into social webs that are often overlooked. As part of his ongoing symbiosis with the Lichen Likers, he focuses on ways to utilize waste stream materials to support life, with vestments that encourage us to think about the ways we interact with plants on a daily basis. He received his BFA in Sculpture from The Ohio State University, and is currently pursuing his MFA at Ohio University.
