we were talking about maya lin (architect & sculptor) today in our art in urban settings class, and i came across this quote from her book, "boundaries".

“I began reading about fluid dynamics and flight turbulence and I talked to the professors of the aerospace engineering department there, just trying to get an idea of what went on in the building. And then, boom! One day I just opened a book, saw this image of a stokes water wave—a natural occurring wave—and knew that was what the piece was going to be about. You can only do so much analytic research and then I shut that side of me down and flip it and allow the true intuitive side to take over. You have to have faith in the magic. You cannot find a reason for everything you make, but that doesn’t make it less thoughtful. It’s very complex how we think. I like that. I like the mystery of creativity.”

this reminds me of one of sam's projects:
