Lynden, WA
- Swirling around the revolving doors of the border station in Lynden, WA are highly animated, brightly colored translucent images of people. Their almost-life-size hopping and running forms do not refer to specific people and are not bound by rigid outlines. Instead the figures appear buoyant and flexible, both guides for where to enter the building and models of the type of vitality for which the residents of the United States and Canada are known.
