Robin Buchanan (he/she/its) is a mixed media artist whose art seeks to turn the eye inwards on the unspoken, less examined aspects of society and self. She leverages poetry, narrative, audio, sculpture, animation, illustration and painting to explore themes of reflection, both literally and metaphorically, such as mirror shards in it’s sculptures.
