"Artist Patrick Dougherty creates these amazing sculptures out of sticks that look they belong in some magical world. By bending, molding, and weaving the long saplings he is able to construct structures you can walk into or wrapping nests that flow over buildings. The sculptures are constructed on site and use locally sourced materials and local volunteer labor'

Saw his work at the LA Arboretum, where I got married recently. It was just in the dirt and not as nice as the examples shown here... Didn't know who the artist was until you posted this.

yeah, work i think is very fragile based on the materials, it has a very specific half life......nevertheless they should look good in their prime!
