"Regular Sculpturewalk participant Rabi’a offers not one but two of her imaginative works this year. Both will delight viewers without a doubt.

The Winlaw area sculptor is always prolific. She’s also cleverly adept at taking discarded/recycled materials and creating beauty from them. Her five acre property on the banks of the Slocan acts as an outdoor gallery that showcases her inventiveness and sculpting talent. With her partner Carl Schlichting, she won the People's Choice award in 2016 for Imagine The Stories. Both were active in the Hall Street renovation project in Nelson.

With Housing Crisis, Rabi’a has fashioned dozens of various sized metal houses and, seemingly haphazardly but with care, affixed them cheek to jowl in a cascading jumble of colour. It is reminiscent of a south Mediterranean village where the houses plummet to the sea but these are vibrant and brilliant, not uniformly whitewashed.

Her delightfully charming work sits on long skinny steel legs, a distinct counterpoint to the mass above them. They were inspired by radio reports she was listening to the flooding in eastern Canada this year as she began to assemble the many components."
