Her formal exploration of the transformative properties of electronic imaging technologies results in metaphoric works of great pictorial sophistication. In her non-narrative, often silent compositions, her imagery is dense and illusive, abstract and figurative, mysterious and otherworldly. Buckner received a BFA from NYU, and has taught at City College of New York, the School of Visual Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago and Binghamton University. Her work has been recognized by the New York State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. Her work has been distributed throughout the world, and exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, The Kitchen and Anthology Film Archives. She has been Artist in Residence at the Experimental Television Center, WXXI in Rochester, and WNET-TV in NYC. \u0022In my work I have been concerned with the spiritual consciousness of the individual and how one views one\u0027s position in Eternity. In this work, I, as soul-- an immortal and eternal physical essence-- view some aspects of the physical life as a finite yet ever-changing phenomenon in space/time.\u0022","offset":0,"nextOffset":null,"totalCharacters":1289,"complete":true},"rightsUrl":"https://www.videohistoryproject.org/terms-service"}
