	Maya Lin
		Lin admits that while she was officially a student in the architecture school, she used to sneak over to the art school to take sculpture classes.
		Lin had found a perfect formula for involving people directly in the work and, in the process, had heightened for many the experience of honoring and grieving for the dead.
		Lin has seemed to take advantage of this confusion as she continues to create the unexpected in hope that she will further involve and move those who view her work.

	Presidential Lectures: Maya Lin
		Lin has a strong interest in conservation and has said and written many times that her goal in her landscape art is to cooperate with nature rather than to try to overpower it and bend it to her will.
		It was also significant because it was Lin's first major work using methods and materials that previously she had reserved for small studio works that she had created purely for her own purposes-to explore aesthetic issues and experiment with certain materials.
		Another of Lin's buildings, the Langston Hughes Library (1999) in Clinton, Tennessee, is a marvelous example of adaptive re-use in which she transformed an 1860's barn and a couple of corn cribs into a 1200-square-foot reading room for a collection of research materials on civil rights.

		Maya Lin's "Boundaries" is much like her three-dimensional creations - austere, at once both subtle and direct, outwardly detached, and ultimately effective in evoking a deep emotional response from within the beholder rather than imposing an exterior sentiment.
		Maya Lin speaks through her architecture and her sculptures, and this book unwaveringly focuses upon that work and the creative process behind it.
		In fact, Maya Lin regards words as a vital basis for her designs, the reflection of her own background: her father was a ceramist and her mother a poet.
