WAYNE GLOWACKI / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS A man watches his phone Wednesday morning as he passes through thousands of 5-gallon painters’ buckets woven together to form two giant waves to create a public installation titled One Bucket at a Time. 5468796 Architecture [Canada] and Factor Eficiencia [México] with Studio NYL Structural Engineers [USA] created the sculpture at The Forks by the Esplanade Riel pedestrian bridge. The artist’s statement describes it as a “ place for people to gather and play, One Bucket at a Time is doubling its impact with an innovative community initiative: visitors to the installation are invited to “fill the wave” of buckets through individual donations of $20. Arriving in Canada empty, each bucket used to construct the project will leave for Mexico filled with Canadian generosity, with all proceeds to be given to Ayuda y Solidaridad con las Niñas de la Calle, a Mexican orphanage for at-risk girls and young women located in Mexico City.” Sept. 20 2017
