Linear Light Column
.
Linear Light Columns are the first works in Lijn’s Cylinders series. In them she uses reflected light to see form unfold in a four dimensional code. In this series of work Lijn was interested in the way a reflected line of light describes the altered surface of the cylinder. It speaks with a serpentine, sibylline voice, sensual but also cerebral, since it gives precise information about any changes made to the surface of the cylinder.
