Maya Buffett-Davis: Books Are Machines
October 2025 – February 2026 @ Bemis

Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) and artist Maya Buffett-Davis present Books Are Machines at Bemis Library. Within the three floors of the popular library in Littleton, Buffett-Davis has developed a series of site-specific artworks to encourage visitors a participatory experience. Through extensive research of Littleton and the library’s facilities, Buffett-Davis invokes references that connect to the community served at Bemis. Executing a playful approach to instructional art, Buffett-Davis has paired a sense of curiosity her interactive works demand with her amazing precision construction of ceramic and complementary materials.

About the Artist
Maya Buffett-Davis is currently a graduate student pursuing her MFA in ceramics at The University of Colorado Boulder.
