Connecting art-making and environmental
processes in the creation of site specific
sculpture from pre-consumer and recycled
materials. Forty community volunteers
participated in the incorporation of over
20,000 pounds of recycled Salina Journal
newspapers into these beautiful and
impressive sculptures for the 2012 Smoky
Hill River Festival. Placed within the
natural context of the park, the
sculptures reflect the deposit-and-decay
cycle that underlies the making of the
land. Siegels works prompt dialogue about
society, landscapes, and form-all with an
eye for natures processes.
