Image courtesy of Pace Gallery<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Lin has brought her thought and memorializing sensibility to the subject of the world\u2019s waterways. In wall-mounted reliefs that harken back to the clarity of form of vintage silhouette portraits, Lin traces the path and volume of some of the world\u2019s essential rivers and casts them in recycled silver. The material, chosen for its preciousness and reflective quality, enables the final works that live directly and discretely on the wall to radiate, and imbues them with an almost mystical quality. The shapes of each of these recycled silver works\u2014as distinct and familiar as their waterway subjects\u2014are our lifelines. They are the true sources of our wellbeing, community, and industry, and are visually kindred to the unique creases of our hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Silver Thames<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<em>Silver Thames<\/em>&nbsp;(2012) we see the meandering path of the river as it stretches from Gloucestershire through London to the Thames Estuary by Southend-on-Sea. Generations ago, the nuances of the whole would have been known by its inhabitants, but such awareness has been replaced by a micro-view. Lin is encouraging us to reawaken our vision and recognize these bodies of water as the great providers that they are. It is difficult to care for something we cannot see, so Lin gives us vision. She reminds us of the rivers\u2019 beauty and fragility, and of our responsibility to revitalize these places that have been weakened, if not altogether destroyed, as consequences of human and industrial negligence.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1972\" style=\"width:648px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image.png 500w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-401x300.png 401w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-100x75.png 100w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-150x112.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-450x337.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lin\u2019s artistic practice is highly aesthetic but also profoundly conscientious, and she purposefully accepts her role as an agent of change. In these works and other related series of pin rivers, cut marble topologies of vanishing bodies of water, and her multi-part memorial&nbsp;<em>What Is Missing<\/em>, Lin realizes her power as an artist to bring attention to what is at stake. Her sculptures are at once elegies for what was, but also celebrations of what could be again. She is using her art to call for change and to inspire action, restoration, and hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Art for Rollins: The Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art, Rollins Museum of Art Book Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:27% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-636x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1534 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-636x1024.jpg 636w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-186x300.jpg 186w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-768x1236.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-954x1536.jpg 954w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-100x161.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-150x241.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-200x322.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-300x483.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-450x724.jpg 450w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-600x966.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy-900x1449.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Art-for-Rollins-books-at-the-Alfond-Inn-copy.jpg 1258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>This excerpt by Abigail Ross Goodman <\/strong>is from <em>Art for Rollins: The Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art<\/em> book series.
