Hai-Wen Lin

Hai-Wen Lin | October 2026 through February 2027

In this forthcoming exhibition, Taiwanese-American artist Hai-Wen Lin fashions garments as kites: creating sculptures that move between the body and the environment. Made with the intimacy of clothing and the logic of flight, the works draw on visual traditions from Buddhist jiasha robes to Appalachian quilts, becoming a practice of “tending”—a way, as the artist says “to clothe the wind.” With delicacy and desire, these works also care for bodies and landscapes that shift as constantly as the seasons. Moving between field and sky, Lin’s work asks how we carry one another forward and what it means to belong—to the living, the land, and the cycles that tie them together.
