Patrick DOUGHERTY

American Land art artist

Born in 1945

           A well-known  artist 

A well-known artist using primitive methods for making plant constructions, he created imposing and original works.

             His tree strucures have very tormented forms.  They intertwine small branches of various species. -willow, hazelnut, elm, bamboo-  that the artist twists and turns making ondulating shapes that give off a very organic appearance.

             These complexe forming processes require great mastery for techniques somewhat inbetween basketmaking and carpentry.
