The Architecture of Nature: A Talk by Maya Lin

In the fall of 2007, the Indianapolis Museum of Art unveiled "Above and Below", a commissioned installation by Maya Lin on the Fortune Balcony of the Asian art galleries; this work was inspired by the complex structure of underground White River tributaries in south central Indiana.

Emerging on the international scene with her design of the Vietnam War Memorial in 1982, Lin’s work has always hovered at the intersection of art, nature and architecture. Watch as artist Maya Lin discusses her works of art and impressive career.
