Stick Art

Go to Texas in February, they said. The weather will be great, they said. Patrick Dougherty finished his stickwork sculpture on time at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, despite the weeklong ice/snowstorm. The North Carolina-based artist sets a three-week timeline and works alongside son Sam, his full-time construction assistant, as well as local volunteers. In a just-released documentary called Stickman, Dougherty said he was inspired by some mounded shrubbery, that he termed “crescents,” for his FWBG piece. As with all of Dougherty’s work, it’s designed as an interactive piece that visitors can walk in and through. And it’s built to withstand the elements, typically lasting at least a year. A 5-minute piece produced by EC Films in conjunction with the FWBG and Botanical Research Institute of Texas shows Dougherty at work (there’s snow). Find it at youtube.com/watch?v=jN9wXUMjPAw. See the works in person at the garden.
