Watch this video on the art of Maya Lin.
Her work communicates the transition of exterior landscapes into interior environments, in order to examine the human relationship to natural systems. Interestingly, this relationship changes when the landscape is installed indoors. Lin examines the patterns and forms of natural typologies, translating and abstracting them which encourages our own responses. As we imagine future landscapes for cities and beyond, Lin's investigations may be considered as a means of incorporating the landscape indoors. They may also be referenced as a way of examining how natural and built forms engage and communicate with one another, as well as with those who interact with them. Lin describes how even lines in nature communicate a language, much like that of text, though it is non verbal. Her art examines the ways that nature and the built form may collaborate, creating narratives which communicate with the viewer.
