The gallery says that Lin's art promotes awareness about climate change as we experience its effects daily. "Using a variety of materials, including steel pins, marble, and bound atlases, Lin distills complicated scientific and quantitative information into resonant objects. These artworks open a dialogue between the artist and the viewer."
