Nancy Rubins: Fluid Force

Nancy Rubins: Fluid Force

Nancy Rubins
0/5 ( ratings)
Rubins’ sculptural feats of engineering create delicate compositions from kayaks, airplane parts and more Over the past five decades, California-based artist Nancy Rubins has transformed everyday objects into dynamic, otherworldly assemblages in a multitude of scales, dimensions and mediums. Fluid Force presents a comprehensive survey of Rubins’ gravity-defying sculpture and invites us to linger on her investigations of materiality. The works range from early explorations of wood and clay to two-dimensional photo-collages and graphite sculptural drawings, to complex sculptures comprising found domestic objects and large salvaged objects such as boats, mattresses and airplane parts.
Rubins’ fascination with form and matter is unmistakable. With over 90 photographs and new texts by Phong H. Bui, Eric Shiner and Yayoi Shionoiri, Fluid Force is a much-needed publication that celebrates Rubins’ extensive career and her brilliance in uniting the worlds of art and engineering. Her work serves as a reminder that what appears solid and static is in fact in a constant state of change.
