The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens have just turned 100! In celebration there is an installation of giant twig sculptures! Patrick Dougherty, from North Carolina creates large scale sculptures with all the materials collected from what he finds on the premises. The sculptures look like giant birds nests connected together creating little, well large, huts almost house like. His work changes with the natural cycle, sticks settling, and eventually returning to the earth where they came from. The work will be up for a year so people can see it changing throughout the seasons and evolving.
Dougherty started making sculptures in 1980 with single pieces in his backyard but since then has created over 200 pieces for institutions and galleries.
Anna this is interesting , but I have two concerns. One, I don't understand what your blog is about? There's no cohesion to the pieces. Also, this one really doesn't feel like you've put much work into it.
