Patrick Dougherty is an internationally recognized sculptor who uses tree saplings as his artistic medium. He is interested in nature, when he is young in rural North Carolina where he would build trees houses. His work, which is created by interweaving branches and twigs together, alludes to nests, cocoons, hives, and lairs built by animals. Dougherty tries to show his work like just fell from the sky in a gust of wind or grew naturally in their settings.
Patrick Dougherty has created nearly 200 site- specific sculptures in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia over the past 20 years his work has been displayed at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA., and the American Crafts Museum in New York City, among other places.
