Text from poem by Leonard D Marshall.
In these recent text works Lijn wants words to be interchangeable with colour.
Whether Lijn 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.
