Canoe Sculpture Outside the Aria
May 15, 2011
It is amazing what recycled otherwise useless items that would end up in a landfill can be used for. One of the most impressive uses it the creation of a sculpture that in some ways becomes a social statement. There is a wonderfully amazing sculpture outside of the Aria Casino in Las Vegas created from canoes. In a desert location the presence of canoes is rather an oxymoron and yet it fits well with the general theme of Las Vegas being a city that shouldn't be. The sculpture portraits so many underlying messages though. I think it is quite fitting in the grand scheme of Las Vegas echoing some of the past and present concerns. What a wonderful way to use items that would have ended up in a landfill! The contrast between the old, used of the canoes and new, shiny of the casino is quite impressive.
