Nancy Rubins’s Winnie’s Pleasure (2024) has been permanently installed at a public plaza in the Concord Brentwood community in Burnaby, Canada. In the sculpture, a gravity-defying cluster of found aluminum canoes and industrially fabricated metal canoes painted yellow, blue, green, white, and orange is suspended in midair, transforming everyday objects into an engineered abstraction.

April Fools’ Day
Origins: Celebrated globally, it is characterized by lighthearted trickery. While the exact origin is unknown, a popular theory traces it to the 1560s in France. When switching to the Gregorian calendar, those who stubbornley continued to celebrate the new year in late March/early April were mocked as “April Fools”.
