Label TextRock Field, a work comprised of 45 blown glass forms arranged randomly on the floor, invites connections between stone and water. The rounded forms resemble hardened drops of water or perhaps mimic a river bed that has been transformed by water over the ages. Rock Field establishes a relationship between water and stone, stone and glass. Maya Lin’s artwork is inspired by the land, and how we relate and respond to the earth. In Lin’s interpretation of the landscape, nature’s materials become inseparable; earth, stone, and water merge and emerge as one.
