Art and Architecture- Maya Lin

Maya Lyn we saw earlier in the Art:21 episode of art and identity but I thought she was also quite interesting in relation to art and architecture. As her works are part art and part architecture. This artist really inspires inspiration through her works.

She was trained as an artist and architect, and her sculptures, parks, monuments, and architectural projects are linked by her ideal of making a place for individuals within the landscape. She draws inspiration for her sculpture and architecture from culturally diverse sources, including Japanese gardens, Hopewell Indian earthen mounds, and works by American earthworks artists of the 1960s and 1970s.
