All 16 /Works 16

Nested Foot, 2001

Lijn was walking barefoot on the island of Mykonos when, all at once, she realised that we are connected to the earth only through the soles of our feet. What energies, she wondered, might pass between the foot and the mother planet?

Lilith, 2001

Lilith burns with the fire of passion and unquenchable life. Fire deposits carbon shadows on the bronze of the sculpture. Carbon is the essential element of life.

Revealing, 2001

In this series of text works, Lijn wants words to be interchangeable with colour. Whether she works with a poet’s words or her own text, she wants the words to float into the viewers mind in continually changing sequences. Meaning, like a river, is always in flux.

Divided Self, 2001

Divided Self invites one to think of oneself as partly transparent, open, knowable and partly opaque and unfathomable. One thinks of the Self as whole whereas the individual psyche can fragment into innumerable figures, a cast of thousands.

Early Events: Five Narrative Sculptures, 1996-2000

Five narrative sculptures that form part of a series in which the artist examines her psyche. Like shards of brilliant glass, Lijn discovers early memories embedded within different parts of her body.

Lavender Queen, 2000

One of five digital film installations that place Lijn's earliest memories within different parts of her body.

Rainforest Wall, 2000-2001

At the moment in which negative and positive come together the pattern becomes invisible or dissolves into nothing, just as in physics when negative and positive particles meet. Lijn managed to use the thickness of the glass to keep the image just visible during the transition.

Fragile Footing, 2000

In these works land and body are intertwined, transforming one into the other.

First Words, 2000

Lijn’s plan is to collect 2000 first words: a word for each year since the birth of Christ. The ‘children’ in question can be grownups now as long as their first word is either remembered or documented.

Fire my Soul, 2000

Fire My Soul is concerned with human suffering. The experience of a masectomy, the fear of death, and the mutilation of the female body. In this sculpture Lijn salutes all women who have been struck by breast cancer. It is a memorial to their suffering and to their strength.

Body Canyon, 1999

In these works land and body are intertwined, transforming one into the other.

Weapon of Time, 1999

Liliane Lijn has created sculptures based around the form of the koan since the sixties. This body of work, within her whole practice, is subject to great variety and subtlety.
