Alligator and Catfish, Joy Wulke, 1984




Sculptor Joy Wulke made these for climbing, playing, and seating at the 1984 Louisiana World Fair. They are formed from the same levee bags that hold back the Mississippi River from New Orleans, which were filled with concrete and covered with STO plastic stucco to make the play sculptures. Interesting use of an unusual material.
