Buckman’s art frequently challenges conventions by juxtaposing delicate domestic materials—like vintage lingerie or tablecloths—with boxing gloves, neon signs, and embroidered text that invoke strength, resistance, and survival. Her exhibitions—such as Heavy Rag, Present Life, and Every Curve—address grief, female autonomy, and generational memory. For instance, in Heavy Rag, she reworked boxing gloves into colorful domestic sculptures to honor women’s resilience amid loss and personal struggle Whitewall+2Artnet News+2+2.
