To name the frustration of this oeuvre is thus to make an embarrassing admission. Wool’s 2D projections are too many. They thus reveal that their topographic trajectory is wholly predetermined. In three dimensions, the sculptural jumbles are too solid as they pass

Which is to speak deliberately around the paintings, extracted from a series made in the early 1990s. If Lijn’s oils lack finesse, they far surpass the sculptures’ dynamism even as they are static. Are these dreams, floral fields, or
