Maya Lin has continuously addressed notions of landscape and geologic phenomena in her work. She has an extraordinary ability to convey complex and poetic ideas using simple forms and natural materials. Lin thinks and works in a scale that relates to the land. Maya Lin: Systematic Landscapes is a meditation on our relationship to landscape, whether direct or reinterpreted via computer or satellite imagery.

Systematic Landscapes focuses on a trio of large-scale sculptural installations that offer a different means for viewers to encounter and comprehend the landscape. Wedding a deep interest in forces and forms of nature with a long-term investigation into the possibilities of sculptural form to embody meaning, the exhibition offers a rich, immersive experience for visitors.

Maya Lin: Systemic Landscapes is organized for the Henry Art Gallery by Director Richard Andrews. Major support for this exhibition has been provided by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and The Peter Norton Family Foundation.
