| dc.description | Overall view from W. Harmon Avenue; "Big Edge" sits in the middle of the traffic circle outside the front entrance of Vdara Hotel. It is a colorful collection of about 200 rowboats, kayaks, canoes, surfboards, paddle boats and catamarans wrapped together with stainless steel wire cable forming a web-like structure that is designed to "evoke a blooming flower." Nancy Rubins is an American sculptor famous for "gravity-defying" works created from salvaged industrial consumer goods like airplane parts, electrical appliances, mattresses and boats. "Big Edge" is 57-by-75-feet and took about six weeks to build. | en_US |
