Trying something different! We’ll be checking out the occasional documentary.

This month we’ll view “Maya Lin: A strong, clear vision”, winner of the 1994 Academy Award for the Best Documentary. This documentary explores the creation of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Although it became one of the most beloved memorials in the world, Maya Lin's elegant design was initially greeted with skepticism. Lin was an unknown architect whose entry had been selected after a nationwide competition. She was only 20 years old.

She also designed and built “Wavefield” in the Storm King Art Center in Mountainville N.Y.m a two hour drive from her, if you want to see her work up close.
