"It's Not Easy Being Green" exhibition by Midwest Sculptors and Artists. Leticia Bajuyo is a sculptor and Professor of Art at Hanover College in Hanover, Indiana. Her sculptures involve the inventive reuse of discarded materials such as CDs and empty bottles. For Forecastle, she is amassing plastic bottles from local corporations to create a large-scale sculpture that will surround and arch over viewers as they walk along one of the main sidewalks on the Great Lawn. Her piece entitled “potentially kinetic-kinetically potential” will engage festival goers in a conversation about recycling. Joyce Ogden is a sculptor and Professor of Art at Spalding University in Louisville. Her contribution, “53.93,” will be a series of twelve sculptural towers focusing attention on rainfall levels in Kentucky for each month of 2009. Water and water-management issues have been the subject of her sculptures and installation work for the last 15 years. Todd C. Smith is an artist with an unusual form of expression: tree climbing. His series of sculptural vignettes, “Stock,“ will be built around different trees on the festival site. Each vignette will have an accompanying recording of a childhood tree-climbing story shared with Smith by people from around the United States. Activism.
