Visual Appeal

By Mary DeBrunner · Friday, Sept. 26,2003 1:47 a.m.

When you think of art, do metal, magnets, wood, bike wheels and an electrical spool come to mind? What if you piece these together, wrap everything in colorful fabrics, add flags and banners, then hand paint it with unique and intricate designs? Now does it seem like art? Maybe it was hard to visualize in the beginning, but these elements come together to create the eight venue sculptures of this year's tenth annual Lotus Festival. Local artist Joe LaMantia is responsible for these massive sculptures, standing 14 feet tall by five feet wide. For over three months, he worked with local community service organization to bring this project to completion. Participants of all ages from these organizations donated recycled items and volunteered their time to work on it. Most of the work was constructed at Stone Belt, the host site for the project.

Jordan River Forum

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Sept. 26,2003 1:29 a.m.
