Forcefields Series #3, 1971

Author: Liliane Lijn

Collage, Letrafilm and Letraset on card.

With these works, she became the “Lady of the Line”. But hers are more than simple lines. Like her predecessors in the fields of geometry and biomorphism, her lines have the power to take on their own personality, even with Letrafilm. In this series, in which Letrafilm has been applied by hand, packing it into colourful, curved and snaking trajectories reminiscent of graphs, the lines maintain the fragility with which they were made.
