Wave Field Installation by Maya Lin

The NY Times featured the architect, artist, and landscape artist Maya Lin in this weekend's paper; here's a link to a video on their website where Lin shares her thoughts on a recently completed series of landscape items, entitled 'Wave Field'. (To my family in Chelsea, the first in the series is at UM's School of Engineering.)

Ms. Lin is mostly known for her Vietnam Veteran Memorial in Washington D.C., a commission she was based on design she submitted as an undergraduate at Yale. In the article, she tells us she has attempted to shrug off the mantle of 'architect' and this piece introduces us to a far wider range of work.

See it here.
