Washington commissioned Maya Lin to design seven site-specific art installations. Lin
chose certain points along the Columbia River to commemorate the bicentennial of the
Corps of Discovery, the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I will focus on the third completed
site, Bird Blind, located at the Sandy River Delta in Troutdale, Oregon. This artwork is a
functional piece for viewing the surrounding wildlife in addition to a textually
informative work referencing the diaries of Lewis and Clark and includes the current
species status report published by the Sierra Club on the animals observed by Lewis and
Clark. This thesis examines the accessibility of the artwork to the wide variety of
audiences and its success as a point of dialogue for its specific site. / Committee in Charge:
