I gatti sono qualcosa di fantastico. Ti ignorano per la maggior parte del tempo, ma quando percepiscono che stai davvero male si avvicinano senza fiatare.

CONSTRUCTED MODELS....

images 1+2 (from top):  contours a stacked and laminated layers; trees are represented as thin dowels

images 3+4:  contours are stacked but do not overlap fully (hollow underneath needing support; saves material)

images 5-6:  maya lin, systematic landscapes - contours created by vertical laminated panels; contours create by laminated horizontal layers   https://www.mayalinstudio.com/art/systematic-landscapes

images 7-8: contours created by vertical planes (without gaps (maya lin) and with gaps)

image 9:  a more conceptual approach to model building (layering, material change, texturing of surfaces)

Boundaries

Maya Lin

Simon & Schuster 2000

I had the great pleasure of meeting Maya Lin (b. 1959) once. She had come to our offices to discuss a potential book project based around a conceptual environmental art project she was working on at the time. Though nothing came of those discussions, a few days after her visit, we received a package in the mail, and it was a gift for the staff—a panini press. It was one of the most thoughtful and kind gestures that an author had ever done for us, and she wasn’t even one of our actual authors. I think that gives you a good idea of what kind of person Maya Lin is. From her beginning as a 21-year-old undergraduate who won an open competition to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the controversy that followed to the Civil Rights Memorial and the Women’s Table at Yale University to her environmental art and beyond, this book traces her career through words, pictures, and diagrams. They say you should never meet your heroes, but sometimes they exceed your highest expectations.

My goal is to strip things down, not so that they become inhuman but so that you need just the right amount of words or shape to convey what you need to convey. I like editing.
