Azure: Dennis Lin’s Sculptures Suspend Memories in Mid-air

“Dennis Lin’s sculptures reconstruct chapters of his life that have gone up in flames. Back in 2021, the artist lost his home in Kimberley, Ontario, to a fire during a period of other big personal struggles. His latest works are a group of poetic mobiles completed last year that turn this tragedy into a feat of engineering.” —Eric Mutrie


Designlines: Dennis Lin Creates Art Around Loss and Conservation

“This sensitivity to material and form became even more pronounced after a devastating house fire in 2021, which reshaped both his artistic practice and perspective. Working with salvaged materials, Lin began to weave personal history into his sculptures, transforming remnants into pieces imbued with memory and resilience.” —Ria Elciario-McKeown

“At Dennis Lin’s open studio in Parkdale, the Taiwanese-Canadian artist displayed memory-laden mobiles that are particularly close to home; Lin suspends salvaged and sentimental materials, notably chunks of charcoal from a fire that levelled his former house (read: look closely to spot a charred hardback from his child’s lost library).” —Keith Flanagan
