Wood Works!

An inspiriting artist named: Patrick Dougherty was a carpenter before he was about to express his skill through nature. His techniques started from primitive forms of building and experimentation with trees. In about 1980 Patrick created small works in his own backyard. He then moved at a rapid pace from single piece works on to more conventional monumental site-specific installation. Where the amount of wood was hauled by the truckloads. From the 80's till now he has created and built over two hundred massive land art sculptures in all parts of the world. He now lives in North Carolina in his handmade home out of logs!

I really enjoy these pieces because he is bringing wood sticks back to nature in a new way. He also has photographs of work where he has brought the nature into the gallery, but the images where really blurry, so you guys should look them up! Patrick Dougherty
