 "Gates of the Goddess – a southern crossing attended by the Goddess" (1986, first shown at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery and now in the collection of the Auckland Art Gallery) consists of three large panels, two of which form a passageway for the viewer and the third being a focal point with the form of the goddess.The work brings together many of Lynn's concerns particularly healing the abject as in the 1982 work "Mantle".By recovering destroyed and damaged tapa, drawing attention to the low status (craft) assigned to women's production and by analogy to reproduction Lynn creates a work of simple beauty.
