Maya Lin My earth-based, site-specific outdoor works, such as the
Storm King Wavefield [2007–08] or the earth line drawing I recently installed at Princeton University [
The Princeton Line, 2018], are embedded in the earth and of a permanent nature. Installing something temporary in Madison Square Park at first threw me. I considered doing a piece with living trees that you could move through, akin to a willow walk. Then, while hiking in Colorado with my husband two summers ago, I saw swathes of forest that had been devastated by beetle infestation, because the winters hadn’t been cold enough to kill off the beetl
