I gatti sono qualcosa di fantastico. Ti ignorano per la maggior parte del tempo, ma quando percepiscono che stai davvero male si avvicinano senza fiatare.

Book 455
Boundaries
Maya Lin
Simon & Schuster 2000
I had the great pleasure of meeting Maya Lin (b. 1959) once. She had come to our offices to discuss a potential book project based around a conceptual environmental art project she was working on at the time. Though nothing came of those discussions, a few days after her visit, we received a package in the mail, and it was a gift for the staff—a panini press. It was one of the most thoughtful and kind gestures that an author had ever done for us, and she wasn’t even one of our actual authors. I think that gives you a good idea of what kind of person Maya Lin is. From her beginning as a 21-year-old undergraduate who won an open competition to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the controversy that followed to the Civil Rights Memorial and the Women’s Table at Yale University to her environmental art and beyond, this book traces her career through words, pictures, and diagrams. They say you should never meet your heroes, but sometimes they exceed your highest expectations.

For different reasons, this aesthetic reminds me of both Maya Lin and the tv show Hannibal.

November 22, 2016: President Barack Obama presents Maya Lin with the Presidential Medal of Freedom during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C. The presidential awards citation read, in part, “boldly challenging our understanding of the world, Maya Lin’s designs have brought people of all walks of life together in spirit of remembrance, introspection, and humility. Her pieces have changed the landscape of our country and influenced the dialogue of our society — never more profoundly than with her tribute to Americans who fell in Vietnam by cutting a wound into the Earth to create a sacred place of healing in our Nation’s capital.”

Along the Columbia: Maya Lin and the Confluence Project will be on display at Whitman’s Maxey Museum from April 23 to July 30, 2021. Over twenty years ago, Lin was commissioned by a group of arts patrons and tribal leaders of the Columbia River Plateau and the Pacific Northwest to create a major work of public art in remembrance of the bicentennial of Lewis and Clark’s 1804–1806 journey to the Pacific Ocean. The result is the Confluence Project. Left: Maya Lin in 2005 working on a basalt fish-cleaning table for Cape Disappointment State Park on the Washington coast. (Whitman College and Northwest Archives); Right: The Vancouver Land Bridge, completed in 2008, was a collaboration between the architect Johnpaul Jones and the artist and architect Maya Lin.
