Works of art from branches and saplings - sculptures by Patrick Dougherty

Popularity around the world Patrick Dougherty brought an unusual hobby that demonstrates a love of nature. Patrick is the author of extraordinary sculptures that imitate bird nests. But the main feature of the creations is the material used. The craftsman creates projects from what nature has given: young seedlings, straw, branches, twigs, etc.

Patrick was born in Oklahoma. After graduating from university, he became a bachelor of English. But he soon realized that his main purpose was not languages ​​at all. Therefore, he began to study sculpture and art.

It was then that the idea came to direct my energy in a new direction. Patrick has created a range of natural building materials that are appreciated all over the world.

For some installations, Daugherty buys a truckload of material. The sculptor personally tests each tree for flexibility and strength. For the manufacture of large-scale objects, the artist uses a metal frame. Sculptures of a small size Patrick weaves immediately from twigs and branches without an additional base.

The Doherty collection includes more than 230 sculptures. The artist spends a lot of energy on each of his creations. Their existence is directly related to weather conditions. Strong gusts of wind can destroy hours of work in a matter of seconds. But Peter is not upset. He believes that in this way his installations are transformed into something new.

The diligence and vivid imagination of the artist led to success. Dougherty's installations are exhibited in galleries and museums, presented in the residences of kings and in large arboretums. World celebrities and politicians acquire sculptures to decorate their personal plots.
