	Boundaries by Maya Lin
		In Boundaries, Lin's lucid, soft-spoken collection of writings, she discusses how her work evolves, after a lengthy gestation, as a way of heightening viewers' awareness of a specific environment and perception of the passage of time.
		Influenced by her ceramist father, Lin always gravitated toward working directly with malleable materials--an experience that complements the rational precision of plans and blueprints (the Vietnam memorial first took shape as a mound of mashed potatoes).
		Lin has moved on since then, and this book shows many of her more recent works.

		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.

	Boundaries -- Maya Ying Lin
		The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a design she submitted while an undergraduate at Yale, is one of the most visited sites in America and has had a profound effect not only on the direction of public memorials, but also on the way the country thinks about the war.
		Lin’s work though monumental invokes a powerful sense of quietness and reflection and rather than being imposing are inviting.
		However, this should not be seen simply as a manifesto of Lin’s ideas, rather it is a thoughtful and beautifully-produced exploration of her own sculpture as it relates to the social and physical environment around her.
