MAYA LIN

Maureen Mondora has given

the Art Center

Honey Moon

, 1997, an

exquisite beeswax disk by Maya Lin in honor

of Colleen Vojvodich. Well known as the

designer of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in

Washington, D.C., as well as the Civil Rights

Memorial near the Southern Poverty Law

Center in Montgomery, Alabama, Lin has

created an astonishing body of sculptures,

installations, and prints that respond to the

natural world, of which this work is one. The

form is reminiscent of a full moon with its

circular shape and seemingly inner glow and

was a preliminary work for a larger series of

eight disks that respond to the phases of the

moon. This is the second sculpture by the

artist to enter the collections.
