I just heard maya lin talk about vanished species. she is being sponsored by google! one of the biggest electricity consumers in history! if u want to know what happened to vanished species look no further. media fetish consumes all of us. artist, heal thyself
Great creativity, wonderful works of art. Maybe next she could design a memorial for the 50 million unborn children that have been killed in the last 35 years in abortion, we need one. She already has a design: the one she has for World War III, the hole that you walk in, then have to walk out of.
Have you ever heard as pretentious and self-involved person as Maya Lin? Please do not let this woman design any public spaces in New York City....we have enough useless eyesores and wastes of public funds to line the pockets of "artists".
re wave:
the earliest skatepark designs were informed by natural wave forms & alpine snow forms. example images from 1978 here:
