sticks and stones, and twists and thrones

An article about the artist Patrick Dougherty caught my eye this morning as I was reading the news. He creates sculptures out of sticks and they are super, super cool. Because they're made of natural materials they break down over time. 

Seeing the sculptures in real life must be a treat, as there is definitely something to be said by just looking at the photos. In order to make that happen, I would need to embark on a multiple hour drive - as it doesn't look like he does much work in the northeast. It would be amazing if he could create one for the High Line...or our yard! I would not mind having one of those to look at and play around with at home. Click here to visit his website.
