Stickwork

Using minimal tools & a simple technique of bending, interweaving, & fastening together sticks, artist Patrick Dougherty creates works of art inseparable with nature & the landscape. With a dazzling variety of forms seamlesslyintertwined with their context, his sculptures evoke fantastical images of nests, cocoons, cones, castles, & beehives. Over the last twenty-five years, Dougherty has built more than two hundred works throughout the United States, Europe, & Asia that range from st&-alone structures to a kind of modern primitive architectureevery piece mesmerizing in its ability to fly through trees, overtake buildings, & virtually defy gravity. Stickwork, Doughertys first monograph, features thirty-eight of his organic, dynamic works that twist the line between architecture, landscape, & art.
