Watershed Artwork

The artist celebrates the area’s history with Watershed. Working with actual canoes, altered and stood on end, Zipp replaced the branding on these familiar objects with historical neighborhood references to the 1820 Métis settlement; the old Windsor Theatre that was across the street; the original St. Vital archway where the streetcar line ended; the river lot where the sculpture now stands; and dates marking the levels of Winnipeg’s great floods.
