Maya Lin, Public Art, and the Confluence Project EPUB
by Matthew (Whitman College, USA) Reynolds
Part of the Routledge Focus on Art History and Visual Studies series
EPUB
Description
The first scholarly monograph devoted exclusively to this vital work of contemporary public art, this book examines Maya Lin’s Confluence Project through the lens of environmental humanities and Indigenous studies.
Matthew Reynolds provides a detailed analysis of each earthwork, along with a discussion of the proposed final project at Celilo Falls near The Dalles, Oregon.
The book assesses the artist’s longtime engagement with the region of the Pacific Northwest and explores the Confluence Project within Lin’s larger oeuvre.
Several consistent themes and experiences are common amongst all the sites.
These include an emphasis on individual, multisensory encounters with the earthworks and their surrounding contexts; sound as an experiential dimension of landscape; indexical accounts of the multicultural, multispecies histories of each place; and an evocation of loss.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, environmental studies, environmental humanities, and Native American studies.
