LDS Seminary Declines to Participate in Neighborhood Art
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- The art project of a Salt Lake City sculptor
has become quite popular among his neighbors, but apparently not at a
neighboring LDS Seminary building. Sculptor Dave Malone, who creates
sculptures from "found" metal, has created a "random act of
sculpture," a series of half circles cut from a huge, 3-foot-wide
metal spool. The circles stretch from his yard, snaking through the
neighborhood in what has become a group project as nearly everyone
has asked to participate. "It's kind of a coming together of the
neighborhood," he says. "They like the idea of being involved in
something big."
But a local LDS Seminary building has declined to participate,
leaving a void in the middle of the project. Officials at the
Seminary say that the sculpture doesn't fit into their "guidelines,"
according to Malone.
