The Man & His Universe, begun in 1982, was suceeded in 1984 New Waves (1984) which logically evolved into Light Waves in the following year. Her focus on ever narrower and more precise problems has required ever subtler controil over her media. In order to emphasie the extraordinary variations of expressions with her highly indidualized vocabulaies Lin has frequently repeated a given precedure in several paintings or prints. The resultant series are held together by their lingusitic unity. By modulating the paintings; color tones and markings or the prints' transparency, the artist urges the viewer to examine the different modes and languages of each series. Her prime concern is the relation of the work of art to the viewer."
